The Indian Premier League, which began on April 9, is still ongoing and held across the country amid the COVID-19 pandemic which is currently growing.

Former Australia wicketkeeper-batsman Adam Gilchrist went on to social media platform Twitter in order to show his solidarity with the country amid the COVID pandemic. Adam Gilchrist wrote, 'Frightening Covid numbers. IPL continues. Inappropriate? Or important distraction each night?' He went on to add, 'Whatever your thoughts, prayers are with you.'
