Indian batsman Suresh Raina was spotted playing cricket inside his home amidst the coronavirus outbreak. 

As there is no treatment or vaccine available for the virus, lockdown is the only solution to stop the further transmission of this deadly virus. Therefore, the central government has imposed a lockdown of 21 days in the country. 

The 13th edition of the Indian Premier League has also been suspended till April 15. The league was scheduled to start on March 29. However, it seems unlikely that IPL 2020 will begin any time soon. Therefore, BCCI has been considering the option of conducting the IPL later this year.
