Looks like IPL maybe cancelled/postponed.

Shouldn't have played in Mumbai. But Ambani's money might have made it difficult.

[kosingh]

Should have been in UAE again. Let's see how things play out.

 

[Serpico]

Could turn into disaster if they are so stubborn

[Jimmy Cliff]

The situation is absolutely dire in and around Mumbai. It seems everyone around me is either down with fever or has recently tested positive.

[Lone Wolf]

Wtf is wrong in hosting it in UAE?  Covid is already out of control in Maharashtra. 

Or else move it in cities up north where situation is much much stable. 

Dharamsala,  Dehradun,  Mohali can be great options.  Absolutely ridiculous from BCCI..  What's the point of having so many venues when you are not using it?

Why would ipl be canceled or postponed? While traveling some positives are bou d to happen, as we saw with CSK team in UAE. Its how baord will handle which will make the difference

And that too when we don't have spectators.

Players/officials/staff should be required to be vaccinated ... Anyways, countries like Ind have a tendency to invite problems and remain in the suffering mode for short term pleasures! 

[dilliboy]

Absolutely brain dead to hold any matches in Mumbai currently... Hyderabad and Jaipur should be considered 

[bowl_out]

If they weren't going to allow crowds, what's the point of hosting matches in India anyway? Should have continued hosting in UAE

Cost of accommodations, travel etc. must have been a driving factor. However, hosting it in India with the apparent second wave is not going to fare as BCCI expected it to. Hopefully, they are able to pull it off and more importantly none of the players/staff are impacted by COVID.

[Sandeep99]

Bcci will pay for it's foolhardiness.. They should have selected Hyderabad as a venue. Mumbai right now is extremely dangerous and I can't see how they will manage it 

[speedheat]

Now padikkal

[cowboysfan]

there is no way they can successfully  manage this for 6 weeks ,this will end the same way as the PSL.

Yeah, i had called it out first up. Money cannot fight nature.

[Mosher]

Now Kiran More and he was in the MI bubble. He had even attended the training sessions with MI players.

[Global.Baba]

How many vaccines are needed to vaccinate all the players/ staff/ management/ organizers within the bio bubble?

 

is it easy 

 

Or is it impossible under the present circumstance?

Kiran more already got vaccinated on 3rd march

[Vilander]

Just do mandatory vaccination with Aztrazeneca vaccine for anyone not done already, or they have choice of bharat pharma vaccine - if they have not already vaccinated themselves. And start the games after that. This is risky.
