IPL 2021 Dates, Schedule & Venue: The 14th edition of this Indian Premier League (IPL 2021) will start on April 11. The BCCI and IPL Governing Council have nearly zeroed down on the tentative dates and program to the Indian premier league 2021. 

‘IPL GC will take the last decision; however, April 11 is the tentative date to begin IPL 2021. The series against England ends in March, and gamers will acquire a decent fracture with April 11 beginning for Indian premier league 2021, ” said the BCCI official.

IPL 2021 Title Sponsor: No Dream11, VIVO, IPL auctions likely to be conducted with no title sponsor on board

IPL 2021 Auctions — No name sponsor board as yet: The world’s most influential cricket match is the Indian Premier League (IPL) once more without a title sponsor. The association between IPL and the name sponsor Dream11 finished on December 31 with quite a remote prospect of renewing the agreement with the top dream stage. 

InsideSport achieved into one of the best BCCI officials in the status of name sponsor to the IPL2021. We were advised that BCCI is very likely to develop a fresh tender for the name sponsor as a return to more senior sponsors VIVO isn’t feasible.

Can Auction be running with no Title host?

The board has determined to run IPL auctions on February 18 in Chennai that is significantly less than three months from today. It’ll Be difficult for BCCI to finalize the Title Sponsor before the IPL auctions.

IPL auction is a much-hyped occasion where particularly the name sponsor gets enormous mileage, and now it looks like Auction in Chennai will be conducted with no title sponsor

Alternatives with BCCI 

1) ReNegotiate that the Deal with Dream11 — Sounds improbable. 

This can place BCCI in a legal tangle. The name sponsorship tender published by the BCCI earlier IPL 2020 was only for one year. When BCCI decides to renegotiate the agreement with Dream11 for one more year, it’ll be contrary to the delicate details and could be contested by the competing parties.

2) Going Back to VIVO — BCCI comes with every contractual right to return to VIVO as a title sponsor. However, will they take a danger to go contrary to the public opinion that is still against China and Chinese businesses? Again the option appears unlikely.

3) Tender for the Title Sponsor: This seems like the most viable option in the present conditions. This provides a fair opportunity to everybody involved. Even BCCI can find a host name worthy of fantasy to VIVO vowed on the rear of incredible IPL 2020 viewership figures.

However, the matter with this alternative is insufficient time. It’s not likely the BCCI will launch the tender in the next couple of days and finish the formalities before the IPL auctions.
