Sunil Gavaskar praises the decision of BCCI over postponement of IPL 2020

Former India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar said the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) took the right precautionary measure by suspending the IPL 2020 and the remaining two ODIs between India and South Africa due to the coronavirus that has been spreading in India at a rapid pace.

IPL 2020 on Friday was deferred until April 15 in the wake of coronavirus pandemic.



Meanwhile, the BCCI also decided to call off the ODI matches between India and South Africa in Lucknow (March 15) and Kolkata (March 18) and said the series would be rescheduled later.

"An absolutely fair call and congratulations to the BCCI for taking the step because the heath of the public and the health of the nation is so important," Sunil Gavaskar told India Today.
