What was the IPL schedule in election years?
In 2009, then-IPL chief Lalit Modi intended to hold the entire IPL in India despite the nation going for elections. The schedule for the tournament was revised multiple times to balance the security workforce. However, the majority of state governments refused to cooperate with the mega-rich league. As a result, the entire 2009 IPL was played in South Africa, despite the winter season in the Rainbow Nation.
In 2014, IPL again faced scheduling issues and the commission submitted the plans to hold the tournament. The Centrerefused to cooperate entirely but did provide security for matches after the elections were held in certain states. As a result, the first half of the IPL 2014 was played in UAE while the latter half was played in India.
The IPL commission did succeed in finding a perfect formula for hosting the 2019 tournament in India despite the elections. The schedule was prepared according to theelection plans in the states, that is, matches were either held before or after the elections were held. This helped in reducing the load on the security workforce in the states.
