Nothing has happened though ppl didn't wear masks properly. Chennai and Ahmedabad are doing fine. It's the Centre who has opened up sporting events for crowds, cinema halls for crowds, etc. And the Centre is basically running Indian cricket right now with Jay Shah as the proxy.
This entire situation is so convoluted and in pretty hard mess, that I will never agree that the BCCI had good intentions in mind when arriving at this. The politics is there for everyone to see. Ahmedabad aint having an IPL team but is force fitted. Hyderabad is crying out loud that why are we ignored when Mumbai gets games despite the big no of COVID cases. Mohali is doing the same thing. I love Wankhede and is a special ground, but how does it get games when Hyderabad and Mohali doesn't get it. If you're playing in clusters and want easy movement across the cluster of venues, what criteria made them choose Mumbai at the expense of Hyderabad which has closer proximity to Chennai? If they really wanted a big ground for the knockouts and planned to play without crowds, give it to Wankhede/DY Patil. Let them host the knockouts. Mumbai Indians have rightfully earned it by being defending champions.
Everything about this reeks of nonsense, and I am frankly surprised that this is getting support here. Well.... I will shut up after this on this scheduling topic (dont want to drag this too deep from here)
