Expecting highest TV ratings for this IPL season: BCCI President Sourav Ganguly

Pune: Bullish about the IPL’s success as a TV-only event, BCCI President Sourav Ganguly on Monday said he expects the T20 extravaganza to shatter viewership records this year.

The IPL begins on September 19 and will be played across three cities in the UAE — Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah –, forced out of India due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The tournament’s build-up hit a rough patch when 13 members of the Chennai Super Kings contingent, including two players, tested positive for the dreaded virus last week.
