After Vivo exit, Ramdev's Patanjali considering to bid for IPL title sponsorship
Mumbai/IBNS: Indian consumer goods company Patanjali, spearheaded by yoga guru Baba Ramdev, is reportedly considering bidding for the title sponsorship of the cash-rich mega T20 tournament, Indian Premier League (IPL).
The development came days after Chinese phone-making company Vivo formally withdrew itself as the title sponsor of IPL, amid the growing anti-China sentiment in India over the deadly clash between military personnel of the two nations in eastern Ladakh.
The controversy had erupted after the Indian cricket board decided to hold the 13th edition of the IPL in UAE between September and November this year.
The call for boycotting Vivo gained pace weeks after the Narendra Modi government boycotted 59 Chinese apps including the very popular TikTok.
