There are three main formats of cricket being played in India.
These are one-day matches, test matches, and T20’s. One day match is of 50 overs, each team gets 50 overs to play and the highest scorer wins the match. Test match has no limits of overs, it is played for five continuous days. Each day, the batting team will get six hours to play while the bowling team will have 90 overs. Two innings are played between two teams, in the innings the team who scores higher, that team will be the winner. The test match is a kind of long and pretty boring.   In the fast-pacing world, everyone wants to adapt to with the change. Nowadays, very few people have five to six hours to invest in watching sports on television or smart device. T20 (twenty-twenty) is a format of cricket in which every team gets twenty hours to play. The T20 game hardly lasts for more than two hours.
It is the most appreciated and enjoyed form of cricket. The rapid score by the batsman and back-to-back wickets taken by a bowler is just amazing to watch. T20 has totally diverted the meaning of cricket and gave it a new identity. IPL (Indian Premier League) is quite famous format of cricket tournament. Every year IPL held at a scheduled time.

IPL 2021 Phase 2 Will Have A 30-day Window Available
In the general meeting between BCCI and ECB, if ECB restrains to stand with the offer of BCCI to reduce the gap between each inning. Phase-2 of IPL 2021 will only have 30 days in hand to complete the halted tournament. The 30-day window will be from September 15 to October 15. In the second phase, almost 30 matches are still left to be played. It will be really hard for the management authority to manage thirty matches along with four knocks in mere thirty days. The BCCI has revealed that the authority will try their best to convince ECB to agree on reducing the gap between each inning in the upcoming test series.
If the agreement is successfully accepted by both the Cricket board then there will be no hurdle in resuming IPL 2021. If the agreement didn’t stand rigid on the viewpoint of the ECB, then it will be really hard for BCCI to manage 30 matches in such a short period. The rescheduling process to adjust matches in such a short period of the day will be really hard. It will take a day for the India team to reach the froing soil to participate in the tournament. If ECB accepts the proposal of BCCI, the management authority will have a week or more time to schedule the leftover matches of suspended IPL 2021. All 30 matches will be held at the scheduled time and each team will have proper time to prepare for their matches. Even two matches of IPL 2021 schedule in a day then also BCCI will have seven days in extra.
The extra days from the gap of nine-day can be adjusted at the beginning and end of the IPL 2021 phase -2. It will help the players and teams to adapt and practice further for their matches. These all predictions and schedules of IPL 2021 phase 2 depend upon the acceptance of the proposal by ECB. If the England cricket board welcomes the proposal of BCCI then everything will be smoothly settled according to the above-mentioned schedule. In a further statement, BCCI stated that the knockout round of the IPL 2021 will have only four teams. So, the rest of the team who will not be able to reach the knockout round or get knocked out can send their players back to their respective country to prepare for the T20m world cup. The benefit of IPL is that it will work like a warm-up for the player to be ready for the T20 world 2021 edition. The T20 world cup is scheduled to begin on 18th October 2021.
The current pandemic situation and second wave of the covid-19 had hit the ongoing IPL 2021. Players from different teams were getting affected and the management authority had to stoppedIPL2021 in the middle. BCCI has no option other than to stop the IPL in the middle. Players from other countries were in fear to get infected with the coronavirus. Home countries of foreign players have restricted their players to enter the country owing to the severe increment of covid cases in India. As everything returns to its normalcy. Management has decided to resume the suspended IPL2021.
The move to resume IPL is really appreciating but the management authority must have to be conscious of the health of players. From the sources of the Indian medical association, it has been revealed that the third wave of Covid-19 may hit India in the month of August or September. BCCI has decided to resume IPL2021 in the month of September 2021. Let’s hope nothing like the third wave hit our country and we all could cheer for our favourite team without any fear and just the game of cricket.
