In
the original concept, it was a made-for-television event. And that will prove
to be a good thing for the Indian Premier League (IPL), the lucrative Twenty20 cricket competition that has been delayed several months. It's
now set to be played away from home in the United Arab Emirates because of the
Covid-19 pandemic.
With no spectators allowed to start with, it will be a major
TV-viewing experience for India's cricket-loving population and fans across the
world.
This
global festival of cricket's biggest stars playing in a snack-size version of
the game will get underway on Saturday with defending champions Mumbai Indians
against Chennai Super Kings in Abu Dhabi.

captain Virat Kohli, who plays for the Royal Challengers Bangalore, and most of
India's top players have been in the Emirates since late last month.
They've been in quarantine and slowly getting into match shape for the first time since a tour to New Zealand finished in Test series loss in early March. A series in South Africa was cancelled when international sports was shuttered at the start of the coronavirus outbreak.
Some players have already warmed up in the Caribbean Premier League, which ended with the Trinbago Knight Riders winning the title undefeated in 12 matches.
An influx of stars from Australia and England arrived late. The likes of Australians Pat Cummins, David Warner, Steve Smith and Glenn Maxwell finished a limited-overs tour of England with a win in the one-day international series against the world champions on Wednesday.
