Praveen Khandelwal, secretary-general of CAIT, on Tuesday said the pressure applied against the Chinese mobile manufacturer by CAIT has forced them to pull of the cash-rich T20 tournament.</p>

<p>As per reports, Vivo has decided to pull out of the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/ipl?page=1">IPL 2020</a> as title sponsor due to political tensions between India and China. The negative trend on social media following the announcement of IPL 2020 dates also played a crucial role in Vivo pulling it out of the deal. However, the Chinese mobile giant has told the BCCI that it would be open to coming back in next edition of IPL, in 2021, in a bid to honour the contract which runs until 2023.</p>
