Lockdown is going on in India now. But the rural people of India do not follow the lockdown rules. So even after the government gave the lockdown, the virus infection is not decreasing. If BCCI had been more aware of the corona virus, this season's IPL might not have stopped. At the moment, there is no possibility of starting the IPL before the virus infection subsides.
Here the second wave seems to have plateaued. The number of infections per day are now in the 250K range, down from the 400-450K figures which we were having a few days back. But that doesn't mean that it is safe to conduct major tournaments such as the IPL and the T20 World Cup. Not just the rural population, but also a large part of the urban population has scant regard for law and they don't follow lockdown guidelines. For the remainder of the year, the situation is likely to remain worse.
The people of many countries in the Indian subcontinent are indifferent to the law. The people of India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan do not follow the rules of lockdown properly. Coronavirus infection cannot be reduced in any way if the rules are not followed properly and hygiene is not followed. And it will take a few years to vaccinate all the people in the country.
