Star India, the official broadcaster of the IPL, on Tuesday supported the BCCI's decision to indefinitely suspend the T20 event due to a Covid-19 outbreak in its bio-bubble.
The IPL 2021 edition was hit by the coronavirus earlier this week. Players and staff members from IPL teams such as Kolkata Knight Riders, Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad tested positive for Covid-19.
"Star India supports BCCI's decision to postpone IPL 2021. The health and safety of players, staff and everyone involved in the IPL are of paramount importance. We thank the BCCI, IPL Governing Council, players, franchisees and sponsors for their support. We are also indebted to our employees, on-air talent, production, and broadcast crews for trying their best to spread positivity by delivering the broadcast of IPL 2021 to millions of homes in the face of challenging circumstances," Star India said in a statement.
