\"ChennaiThe Board of Control for Cricket in India<\/strong> (BCCI) has taken a big risk to organize and stage the 2020 Indian Premier League<\/a> (IPL) during the COVID-19 crisis. <\/p>\n

The BCCI could not host the IPL in India as a large part of the country is still in lockdown mode. The BCCI worked out a deal to host the IPL in the United Arab Emirates<\/a> from Sep 19 to Nov 10.<\/p>\n

The BCCI put together a detailed list of standard operating procedures (SOPs) and created three bio-bubbles<\/a> in Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and Dubai<\/strong> for the 8 IPL franchises. Rigorous COVID-19 testing and protocols were to be followed to keep the players safe and ensure a successful 2020 IPL<\/p>\n

It looks like the Chennai Super Kings<\/a> (CSK) have already burst the BCCI\u2019s bubble as 13 members of the popular IPL franchise have tested positive for COVID. CSK has appeared in IPL Championship finals on 8 occasions and have won 3 of those finals. CSK fans were eager to see MS Dhoni<\/strong> lead the men in yellow to one more victory before he walks off into the sunset and likely retires from all forms of cricket.<\/p>\n
