NEW DELHI (REUTERS) - This year's Indian Premier League (IPL) Twenty20 competition is set to be postponed indefinitely amid the Covid-19 pandemic after the country extended a lockdown on its 1.3 billion people until at least May 3 on Tuesday (April 14).

The eight-team league, which was originally scheduled to begin on March 29, was initially deferred until Wednesday before India announced a three-week lockdown last month.
