For the first time, Indian Premier League is going to happen entirely in India during the polling period. The official broadcaster of the Indian Premier League, Cricket World Cup and the official sponsor of the Indian team, Star Sports requested the board to all the advertisement of political ads.
But BCCI has turned down the request and made it clear that it would stick to its policy to not allow political and religious advertisements during a bilateral, international or domestic tournament held under its banner. It is known that the Assembly Polls in some states and LS polls in the entire country will be held in phases from April 11th.
The 12th edition of the IPL will kick off from March 23rd with the battle between defending champions Chennai Super Kings and Virat Kohli led Royal Challengers of Bangalore.
