    Ever since its outbreak in Wuhan, the sprawling capital of Central China's Hubei province, coronavirus has turned into a global pandemic. As of today, a total of 1,26,662 cases of COVID-19 have emerged across the globe, claiming the lives of 4,640 individuals. 

    Owing to the contagion and unavailability of vaccine or specific antiviral treatment, the fast-spreading virus, similar to influenza, has led to travel restrictions, quarantine camps and curfews in numerous countries. The epidemic has also handed a major blow to the sporting world, with numerous tournaments and events across sports being either played behind closed doors, getting postponed or cancelled.
    The situation in India might not be as severe as it is in countries like China and Italy, but the fact that the tally of patients in the country has risen to 73 has left the citizens on the edge. As the infection continues to spread its tentacles in the country, the state governments and Union territories continue to take preventive measures to contain the threat.

    The threat of the global pandemic has also raised several questions on the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), one of the biggest and most popular Twenty20 (T20) tournaments in the world. With the tournament scheduled to begin from March 29, the fate of the competition's 2020 season will be decided by the IPL Governing Council during its much-anticipated meeting on March 14.

    While the fans and IPL 2020 stakeholders eagerly wait for the decision of the IPL Governing Council, here's a look at the potential scenarios for the T20 league amid coronavirus threat:
    1. A Closed-Doors Affair

    From commercial interests and a lot more riding on the tournament, the most likeliest of the possibilities appear to be IPL 2020 being played behind closed doors. In a bid to contain the epidemic, a lot of football leagues and other sporting events have been restricted to no fanfare in the stadiums.

    The move not only allows the league officials to carry on the tournament proceedings as expected with minimal damage to the revenues, but, with no fans inside the stadiums, it further ensures the containment of the epidemic.
    2. Postponing The League

    While the coronavirus spread continues to claim lives across the globe, its preventive measures have left people and nations crippled. With the visa restriction imposed on foreign players, it is quite obvious that the overseas players roped in by the eight franchises will not be able to arrive in India till April 15.

    Taking note of the situation at hand, the Indian government has set the date in a bid to, hopefully, tackle the challenges posed by the epidemic in a span of one month. Owing to the mandate, the IPL 2020 organisers could probably decide to postpone the start of the league and begin post the prescribed date, playing multiple matches in a single day to complete the rigorous schedule.
    3. Changing The League Structure

    With relatively less time at hand, the IPL 2020 organisers can also shorten the league. Just like the ICC World Cup last year, the tournament, rather than being played in its normal structure, can witness the eight franchises being divided into two groups to minimise the games.

    Following a shortened group-stage, the franchises finishing at the top two spots in the groups can qualify for the knockout stages, potentially the semifinals, before the coveted final. This move will undeniably result in a massive hit on the revenues, but it will still serve the purpose to fans.
    4. A Sad Cancellation

    For billions of fans, countless support staff, team owners and players, the decision of cancelling the 2020 edition of the IPL will surely be a massive letdown - a threat that looms large on the ongoing Premier League season. But, given the circumstances in relation to the fast-spreading coronavirus, the authorities might not have any other option if the positive cases continue to increase in India.

    This decision, if taken, will not only be in accordance to the COVID-19, but also would keep in mind the packed calendar of the Indian cricket team. The IPL 2020 was looked upon as a key tournament to prepare for the highly-awaited World T20 in Australia this October, thus, accommodating new dates seems tougher than it might appear as it would affect the 'Men in Blue'.

    The best of fashion is always the one which combines the style with everyday functionality. No matter how much you love a trend, you can never wear it if it is not comfortable or practical. Summer layering is the perfect example of the same. We love the layered ensembles but mostly end up sweating through it. 
    Here are five summer jackets that will make layering pleasant even during summers. Get ready to rock your “cool” style.
