Meanwhile, the BCCI had decided to host the entire season of IPL in India this year after the country saw a dip in Covid cases.
Currently, four venues in Maharashtra, namely the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai, and MCA stadium in Pune, are hosting all the league stage matches of the IPL.
