IPL 2020: BCCI in Trouble, After VIVO Exit, Calls to Drop PayTM, Byju’s & Dream11 Grow – Report

After Chinese mobile giants, VIVO opted out as title sponsors for the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League in UAE, trouble does not seem to stop for the Board of Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) – who are desperately looking for a replacement with 41 days to go.

Calls are now being made to drop sponsors who have any Chinese links. RSS affiliate Swadeshi Jagran Manch (SJM) wants BCCI to drop IPL Central sponsors & Indian cricket sponsors like PayTM, Dream11, Byju’s, and others who are funded by the Chinese companies.

SJM has already started a ‘Quit China’ movement and would protest against IPL sponsors with any Chinese connect.
