Coronavirus threat looms over IND vs SA and IPL 2020
While the first IND vs SA match washed out due to rain, several users on Twitter also compared the situation to the ongoing worldwide panic created by Coronavirus. The impending Indian Premier League (IPL 2020) also looks doubtful amidst the country-wide crises. Due to the rising threat of the highly-contagious Coronavirus, major sporting events like NBA, Serie A and LaLiga have already been suspended until the Coronavirus crisis recedes. Here, we take a look at some tweets where Indian fans are calling out for the cancellation of the ongoing IND vs SA series.
