The ‘<a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/ipl">Indian Premier League</a>’ (IPL) became the most searched query on Google in India for the year 2020 – the same year in which ‘coronavirus’ or ‘COVID-19’ wreaked havoc and disrupted the lifestyle of almost the entire world.

Cricket, which was suspended for months like many other sports due to the deadly virus, came as a relief for a cricket-crazy country like India and with IPL 2020 in the UAE becoming the first multi-team tournament to be held post-lockdown, the term ‘Indian Premier League’ broke records as it became the most searched query on Google in India.&nbsp;

Google India on Wednesday announced that Indian Premier League beat the massively trending searches as coronavirus or COVID-19 for the top trending query for the entire year. The news of the postponement of IPL 2020 also played a major role in topping the query list on Google.&nbsp;
