^^ I hope they don't. Empty stands looks bad but there should be no spectators in any hot zones, especially Mumbai.

Mumbai getting fair amount of IPL games this season despite their covid problem, only shows that how powerful Mumbai Cricket Association is IRL. On the other hand we have state board like Hyderabad, who like to mess things up and then cry.

Maybe due to the influence from the Mumbai Cricket Association, or maybe due to the influence of Nita Ambani who own Mumbai Indians. Ideally I would have liked the IPL restricted to just one city. What is the point in conducting the tournaments across so many cities, when the crowd is not allowed? Why can't they stage all the matches in juts one city, may be Bengaluru, Chennai or even Lucknow, where the number of cases are low? These cities do have multiple stadiums, so it should not be an issue.

Ditto!

There is no gate money (in case of empty stands), no additional benefits and no home advantage for any franchise. In case they were to stage all games in one state then it could have been Gujrat without any doubt, only because of new Motera stadium (Modi Stadium). It can even hold double header on weekend easily and i think they do have fair amount of good stadiums as well.

Wait, There are no matches in Hyderabad? Sad. I was planing to go this year if there was. How did they mess it up? Hyd Covid situation has gotten a lot better now and according to a few surveys, about 50% of the population have developed antibodies for COVID apparently. The sample size was very small though(2000). So, it cannot take it as facts for all over hyderabad.

Its looks like Hyderabad cricket association failed to approved their last year earning and mainly expenditure. Last season was dud because covid but all boards were compensated by the BCCI (players salary), so its a big mistake from the Hyderabad management.

The automated crowd system added to the broadcast is really disturbing. When we hear the true sound from the ground it is really interesting to watch the game. Taking in account the rise of covid cases, different plans were made. This time surely people will be allowed to watch the game, because BCCI felt the difference of playing in an empty ground and with full crowd.

Are the tickets being sold for real people to watch these games in the ground? I believe that the cases are actually increasing and while practising caution, they might not allow people or even if they do, there will be one seat right, left, up and down be left out for each person who will sit there. I believe that the costs are not going to be any lower if that's gonna happen. It's true that these games do miss the cheer and the crowd, but everybody's health can't be put at stake for any sports TBH. And yeah, that automated crowd system is a shitty mess honestly, even I hate it while watching it that way, then how the players would have felt!

If cases are increasing like this then BCCI may change the venue for sure because they are more towards conducting the IPL even in the middle of pandemic last year so they may not hold back from anything. Anyone knows about the spectators are allowed for this season or not?

There was a statement from the BCCI earlier this week:

Once again, the Indian Premier League (IPL) will witness empty stadiums and there will be no crowd- cheering. The 14th edition of the IPL, too, will be played behind closed doors -- at least in the initial phase of the tournament, the IPL governing council said on March 7.

They may allow the spectators at a later stage, if the situation improves. But I don't think that it will happen. Cases are once again rising, not only in India but also around the world. Brazil is having a similar demographic, and they are witnessing huge increase in new cases. Even in India, cases are rising in some of the states. For me, it doesn't matter much. I don't really care whether the crowd is there or not. But the TV channels need to stop their automated crowd setting during the broadcast.

As compared to Maharashtra other states are not reporting so many cases. Out of the 17k cases reported yesterday Maharashtra has contributed more than 50 percent. Yet, BCCI wants to organise in Mumbai because of Ambani's influence. Bio bubble only works when the rules are followed if they are not then PSL like situation can arise.

Yesterday there were a total of 17,596 new cases and 102 new deaths being reported. Out of this, Maharashtra accounted for 9,866 new cases (56%) and 45 new deaths (44%). At this point, it will be foolish to schedule any matches in that state. I am not sure whether Ambani had any influence in this decision or not, but BCCI must have taken the other franchises in to account as well. More then the absolute number, I am more worried about some of the new strains of the virus, that have been discovered in Maharashtra.

This is actually the reason behind why Hyderabad was omitted this time around.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.siasat.com/no-ipl-matches-in-hyderabad-who-is-responsible-2107110/amp/

BCCI should be blamed, but the Hyderabad Cricket Association should be blamed too. Choosing Mumbai was another bad decision. I hope this won't lead to IPL 2021 getting screwed just like the recent PSL season.

I am also concerned about Mumbai. Across the state of Maharashtra, the new COVID 19 infections are on the rise. As we have seen in PSL, it is not easy to manage so many different teams and franchises. Setting up bio-secure bubbles can be a challenge. All it takes is a single breach, for multiple people to get infected. Crowd is not allowed and therefore I don't understand why they need to schedule matches in big cities such as Mumbai.

On the other hand, cities such as Hyderabad, Lucknow and Dharamshala are really doing well. The BCCI did a big blunder by ignoring these centers. I guess lack of facilities may be one of the reasons.

Hyderabad, Lucknow, Himachal and Mohali are also ignored by retarded BCCI (Ignoring Mohali was right decision tho). Guess they went for limited cities due to logistics although these cities could have host some ipl matches effectively. Don't know why they opted for Mumbai.

Cases are increasing once again in India and in Mumbai the numbers are really bad. I don't know why Mumbai was selected to host the matches. The logistics is going to be problematic, considering the crowded nature of that city. On the other hand, cities such as Hyderabad, Lucknow and Dharamshala are really doing well. The BCCI did a big blunder by ignoring these centers. I guess lack of facilities may be one of the reasons.

https://mobile.twitter.com/IPL/status/1368535256014356488

I have no idea why MI are up against RCB in the opening match when it's supposed to be MI vs DC since they played against each other in the finals last year.

Another interesting fact about this IPL edition is there is no home ground for any teams, they are playing away all the matches due to the limited availability of pandemic free cities. How fans are going to react for this? Especially MI and CSK fans because those teams have more fan base than anyone else?

You cannot dilute the situation by saying it was bad luck, it was the management skills of the PCB in question when situation like these arises to conduct the tournament successful during a pandemic. These are not normal circumstances and we have seen multiple tournaments conducted successfully in multiple countries and we have not heard about the virus spreading among the players and PSL is the only tournament that was postponed because players are infected.

This is what happens when the players have total disregard for the cricket board. The first reported breach in the PSL was from Wahab Riaz and Darren Sammy. However, PCB treated these two with kid gloves. A very insignificant punishment of three day quarantine was given to the duo, but they just ignored it and Wahab went on to play a match for his team two days later. If he was suspended from the start itself, then the story would have been different.

The primary reason why Pakistan is not playing is due to the tension between both countries. Australia and Newzealand should have been part of this tournament but I am sure they avoided it because of the COVID19 situation. Still, it is a big tournament and we as cricket fans will enjoy it.

I watched the highlights and it is interesting to watch but before i thought since these are retired players the matches will be slow and boring but it was above my expectation and if the ICC or any private company wants they can even create a T20 World cup for legends and it can generate audience especially those who bet on these matches.

Looking at the match it looked like a strong Indian line up against a old Bangladesh team and you went and placed a bet on that and lost the bet Tongue

If you ever what to give example of a bad luck or want to see live example of 'What is bad luck' , then you can always refer to the PSL Cry

I don't want to know what happened, why it happen , who's responsible etc, i will only call this a bad luck for the pakistan board, PSL players and the whole nation who were enjoying and partying via this tournament.
