The IPL, which was to be from March 29 was postponed until April 15 due to coronavirus, but the tournament is still in trouble. In such a situation, former Indian fast bowler Ashish Nehra is hopeful that IPL can happen at the end of the year, not in April and August. Former Australian captain Steve Smith and England cricketer Jos Butler are also hopeful that the IPL will take place this year. However, the T20 World Cup is also to be held in Australia in October.
Nehra said, "The IPL expected in April is extremely low. If the tournament is postponed, it will not be possible in August as it is a rainy season. Due to this, there will be full possibility of many matches being canceled. If the situation gets better by October, I am confident that the IPL will be held 100 percent at the end of the year. "Ashish Nehra has so far taken 106 wickets in 88 matches of IPL at an average of 23.54.
On the other hand, Indian batsman Cheteshwar Pujara has said, "If we look at the biggest problem (corona) that people are facing today, we should not think about cricket at all right now. We have to fight this dangerous virus together like a war. Our first attempt is to normalize the situation. After that, we can think about cricket and other sports. "At the same time, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) coach and former New Zealand cricketer Brendon McCullum was seen resting at his home. He also believes that we should not think of any game till the situation becomes normal.
