The 13th season of the Indian Premier League is on the verge of cancelation after India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared a 21-day lockdown to tackle Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in the country.
BCCI had already postponed the star-studded eight-team league to April 15 earlier this month. However, the situation around the pandemic worsened since then with confirmed cases surging towards the 500-mark in India.
Sporting events around the globe have been affected by the pandemic. The Tokyo Olympics 2020 has been postponed to 2021.
The cancellation of IPL looks inevitable.

Sad to hear this, it would be good if there is a trimmed version of IPL this year.
