Why was the tournament suspended?
The first half of the tournament (which saw 29 games completed) was played in India amidst the raging global pandemic.
As the number of cases and situation in the sub-continent nation got more and more out of control, the chance of the IPL bubble holding seemed to weaken with every passing day.
Eventually, the inevitable happened. COVID began to spread through the teams and the tournament was suspended.
Who were the leaders?
Before the tournament was suspended, it was the Delhi Capitals on top of the ladder with six wins from their eight games. The Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore however were only one win behind the leaders with a game up their sleeve.
The Mumbai Indians rounded out the top half of the ladder, while with half the season to go just about every side is still in contention, with the Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings both on three wins, the Kolkata Knight Riders with two and the Sunrisers Hyderabad with just the one.
