TIL Desk Sports/ BCCI president Sourav Ganguly confirmed that IPL 2021 will be held as per schedule despite the rapid rise of COVID-19 cases in India in the past few weeks.
His confirmation comes after the Maharashtra government announced a weekend lockdown to curb the spread of COVID-19 in the state. “Everything will go on as per schedule,” Ganguly told.
Wankhede Stadium is set to host 10 IPL games this season from April 10-25. The first match at the Mumbai stadium is slated to be played on April 10 between Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings.
Four franchises — Delhi Capitals, Mumbai Indians, Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals — have set up their base in Mumbai ahead of the start of the 14th edition of the T20 league. Kolkata Knight Riders is also based in Mumbai but they will soon shift base to Chennai to play their first match against SunRisers Hyderabad on April 11.
