Irfan Pathan, who announced his retirement from international cricket in January last year, was part of IPL's commentators' panel. The BCCI, after an emergency meeting on Tuesday, unanimously decided to indefinitely suspend the 14th edition of the cash-rich league. The decision was taken after several players from different IPL teams, including Delhi Capitals, SunRisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders tested positive for COVID-19.
In the last 24 hours, 3,780 people died of Covid1-9 in India which is the highest in a day. The total number of fatalities has reached 2,26,188. India's Covid caseload hit 2.06 crore with over 3.82 lakh new cases as the crisis continues to crush the healthcare system.
In terms of the total caseload, Maharashtra is followed by Kerala, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Delhi. India is second only to the United States in the total number of cases reported since the beginning of the pandemic.
