The Indian Premier League will begin on March 29 in Mumbai against the Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians (CSKvMI Live Score). Its final will be played on 24 May.
Asked whether there is any threat to IPL due to coronavirus, Patel said, “There is no threat as of now and we are keeping a tab (on the situation).”
BCCI President Sourav Ganguly too ruled out any threat to the IPL or the South Africa series, beginning with the first ODI on March 12 at Dharamsala in Himachal Pradesh. “Nothing in India. Not even discussed it (Coronavirus)'” said Ganguly.
