The Indian Premier League (IPL) is expected to begin on March 27, and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is confident of hosting the tournament across four venues in Maharashtra - the Wankhede Stadium, Brabourne Stadium, DY Patil Stadium and the MCA Stadium in Gahunje.

Earlier, there were speculations that the tournament could be shifted to Sri Lanka or South Africa. But  Sportstar  understands that all franchises believe that the tournament should be held in India, maybe with no spectators.
