Before the start of the 2020 edition of the Indian Premier Le𒐪ague (IPL), a lot of buzz has already been created with the ongoing pandemic situation and other peripherᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚal issues.
With ♑the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in India, the t🀅ournament was postponed indefinitely back in March this year.
Earlier this month, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) decided to move the tournament outside India, within a biosecure b♎ubble in the UAE.
Moreover, with the strained relations between India and China due tಞo the Galwan Valley, Vivo decided to opt-out from its title sponsorship.
It brought yet 🅷another headache for the IPL Governing Council, in the wake of a national boycott of Chinese goods.
Now, the likes of Byju’s, Amazon, Coca- Cola have offered their contention for the bid of IPL title sponsorship.
However, the development of Ayurveda giants Patanjali throwing their hat in the ring for the IPL title sponsorship proved to be a meme-fest on social media. Patanjali’s iဣnte𝓀rest for the sponsorship was recently reported by the Economic Times.
The apex cricketing board in India is also set to give an additional ﷽di🦂scount 20-30% to the title sponsors keeping in mind the current situation.
Several light-hearted 𒀰memes were shared on Twit𒁏ter and other social media platforms, leaving one and all in splits.
Harsh Goenka, the co-owner of former fra🃏nchise Rising Pune Supergiant, looking at the trend on social media, decided to take a jibe by sharing a hilarious IPL logo.

If Baba Ramdev’s Patanj༺ali manages to secure the bid for the 💖title sponsorship, it would be their first venture into cricket.
Earlier, Patanjali bagged the co-presentation rights for 2016 Kabaddi World Cup. Also, it sp🗹onsored the second season of Pro Wrestling League. The BCCI will come up with an affirmative decision on the title sponsorship of the IPL on Tuesday, August 18.
