Loss of Rs 2,000 crore to BCCI

IPL has been suspended.  If it is canceled altogether, the loss will be around Rs 2,000 crore.  At the same time, there will be a risk in the T20 World Cup to be held in India.  Even if its planning is taken away from India, BCCI will lose crores.

Many players felt the transition before the tournament

Even before the start of IPL-2021, many players were caught by Corona.  Nitish Rana of Kolkata Knight Riders, Devdutt Padikkal of Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Akshar Patel of Delhi Capitals, Enrich Norkhia and Daniel Sims have also been infected.

Concerns were heightened as players began to come in positive

In fact, there was already concern about the Mumbai-Sunrisers match to be played today.  Because Mumbai Indians played a match against CSK on Saturday and Balaji came in contact with them many times during the match.  And now Rising Saha of Sunrisers has also come out against the fact that Corona is positive.  KKR's Varun Chakraborty and Sandeep Warrior have already tested positive.
