IPL 2020 Update: Indian Premier League 13 Likely to Be Played in UAE or Sri Lanka, Says BCCI Official.
"We are yet to decide on the venue but in all probability, it is going outside this year.

Well, fans were certainly delighted seeing the high possibility of IPL getting underway. At the same, however, some fans were sad as India will not be able to host the league.
