IPL Returns To India Under Shadow Of Coronavirus Pandemic
Mumbai Indians will start their campaign to become the first side to win three straight Indian Premier League titles in an empty stadium in Chennai on Friday, as the pandemic casts a dark shadow over the tournament.
All eight teams are in strict bio-bubbles for the tournament, which concludes on May 30.
They include the world's top cricket stars, including England's Ben Stokes and Steve Smith of Australia.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has appointed bubble integrity managers to police each team.
