SOURAV GANGULY SHARES LISTS OF MOMENTS THAT HAVE MADE 'IPL 2020 A SUCCESS' SO FAR

As Indian Premier League (IPL) has always been the much awaited and watched tournament across the world.

This year too, it has been a success and Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly couldn’t be prouder of what the current season has had to offer. 

He recently explained how the tournament has been a smashing success this year.

Despite the pandemic, the BCCI and Star worked out a way to ensure that the year 2020 did not go by without the IPL. So far in the 47 games been played, Ganguly shares about the numerous spectacular moments from the tournament. 

“Unbelievable, and I am not surprised at all. When we were discussing with Star and all the people concerned – if we have to do it this year and one-month prior to the tournament, we were contemplating, whether this can happen or not, what will be the ultimate result of the bio-bubble and will it be successful. We decided to move ahead with our plan, because we wanted to bring normalcy in everyone’s lives and wanted to bring the game back. I am not surprised with the feedback,” Ganguly said on Star Sports’ show Cricket Live.

The 2020 IPL has been a smashing hit as per Ganguly, as there has been so much drama involved this year. From first time in IPL- two Super Overs took place to determine a winner to Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) remarkable comeback for a playoff berth. “This is the best tournament in the world,” he added. 

“There have been so many super overs, we recently witnessed a double super over, we saw Shikhar Dhawan’s batting, we saw Rohit Sharma, we saw all the young players and we witnessed the comeback of KL Rahul’s KXIP from the bottom of the table. You will get everything here! I can bet you that the IPL has been a smashing success this year, in terms of the ratings, the number of people who have watched the game," he finally noted.
