The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has decided on the tentative dates for hosting the Indian Premier League (IPL 2020). As per the reports, BCCI can conduct the tournament fr September 26 to November 8. Though these dates are subjected to change according to the decision taken by the ICC regarding the T20 World Cup. ICC [https://www.icc-cricket.com/] is yet to announce its final decision on the T20 World Cup. This has also restricted the Indian board from making any official announcement on IPL 2020. However, Cricket Australia’s Chairman Carl Eddings told the media that the idea of hosting the T20 World Cup amidst the coronavirus outbreak seems unrealistic. According to the Mumbai Mirror Reports, the first half of the tournament can be played in the South in venues in Bangalore and Chennai if the weather conditions are suitable. The second half of the tournament can move to Mumbai if the COVID-19 situation improves in the city. The BCCI has informally informed all the stakeholders and franchise owners about the plan and taken them in confidence. IPL [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/IPL-2018-10.jpg] WE CAN’T KEEP OUR PLANS FOR IPL ON HOLD: BCCI An anonymous BCCI member confirmed the news of BCCI locking the period from September 26 to November 8 for hosting the Indian Premier League [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/ipl-2020/]. The BCCI member said as quoted by InsideSport, “We can’t keep our plans on hold. ICC has to decide on the T20 World Cup way forward and we have to decide on our plans. That is the reason the tentative window has zeroed down. We will start preparing as per this window for IPL”, Also, the BCCI is looking at conducting the tournament behind closed doors in a bio-secure environment due to the spread of coronavirus. This can result in an increase in the budget of the cash-rich league. Further, the board is open to conducting the IPL outside India if the situation does not improve till September. UAE and Sri Lanka have already made a proposal of conducting the league in their country.

IPL History

IPL 2019 is almost upon us and the fans are gearing up for season 12 of the cash-rich tournament. This year, 8 teams will be contesting the league and vying for the title.

The series kicks off on the 23rd of March, through April and ends on May 19th. The opening match will be defending champions, Chennai Super Kings against the Royal Challengers Bangalore at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium.

The Super Kings are currently the most successful IPL team along with the Mumbai Indians, with three wins each. Kolkata are next with 2 wins. The inaugural winners were the Rajasthan Royals back in 2008.

Tournament Format?

The IPL schedule 2019 is planned in such a way that only the dates for the first two weeks has been released. However, owing to the 2019 general elections, there may be further changes.

Just like in the English Premier League and every other football league, each team plays their opponent twice. Once in their own home ground and once in their opponent's home ground. In simpler terms, CSK are facing RCB in Chennai on Saturday. The next time the two meet, it will be in Bangalore.

However, with the general elections looming, it is more than likely that this format will be thrown for a loop.?Instead, some matches will be held at neutral venues for security reasons.

Teams

There are 8 teams contesting the 2019 IPL season. They are, the Chennai Super Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders, Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Kings XI Punjab, Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals. Delhi were formerly known as the Daredevils, but ahead of the coming season, they felt a need for a change.

There were also a fair number of former teams as well, who have now become defunct. They are, the Deccan Chargers, who were succeeded by the Sunrisers Hyderabad. They were part of the original teams, but dissolved after 4 years.

Next came the Kochi Tuskers Kerala, who joined in 2010 lasted only till 2011. The Pune Warrior India debuted around the same time as Kochi but managed to hold out until 2014 before dissolving. Then in 2016, after Chennai and Rajasthan were banned for 2 years, the Gujarat Lions and the Rising Pune Supergiant arose from their ashes. Sadly, they too were dissolved when CSK and RR returned to the fray in 2018.

Locations

There was a lot of speculation surrounding hosting the IPL amid the Indian general elections. Rumours were abuzz that IPL 2019 could be held abroad just like in 2009 and 2014 respectively.

However, the BCCI later confirmed that the tournament will remain in India alongside the elections. Their plan is to schedule a few matches on neutral venues on certain days to avoid conflict.

One thing is for sure, the crescendo surrounding the league will soon reach a fever pitch and the fans are eager to get things started.

How will things pan out this season? Will CSK or MI break the deadlock? Will KKR make it a three-way tie? Will it be some team else? Will RCB finally lift the trophy? Will the name change really mean a change of fortune for Delhi Capitals?
