MS Dhoni has been on a sabbatical since the end of the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup in England where India were knocked out by New Zealand in the semi-final. The CSK skipper was supposed to make a comeback in IPL 2020 where he was set to lead Chennai Super Kings (CSK) but the tournament was postponed indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic. The cash-rich league was considered as a crucial competition to bring MS Dhoni back into the scheme of things. MS Dhoni's performance in the IPL 2020 would also have decided if he made it to the Indian team for the T20 World Cup that is supposed to be played in Australia later this year.

IPL 2020: BCCI President Sourav Ganguly gives massive statement about the tournament's future

BCCI President Sourav Ganguly has hinted at the possibility of IPL 2020 being conducted outside India. Recently, Sourav Ganguly opined that the country will have to bear with the COVID-19 pandemic at least till the end of this year or the beginning of 2021. This statement by Sourav Ganguly effectively rules out India's chances of organising the cricketing extravaganza at home.

Sourav Ganguly was in conversation with India's test opener Mayank Agarwal on his show '#DadaOpensWithMayank'. While responding to a question on how he looks at the COVID-19 situation in India, Sourav Ganguly said he thinks the next two to four months will be a little tough. He added that people will just have to bear with it and by the end of the year or the beginning of next year, life should be back to normal once a COVID-19 vaccine is developed. The BCCI is currently looking for a window to host the event. Their decision largely depends on the ICC’s call regarding the T20 World Cup, which is scheduled to start mid-October.
