Following the India-China deadly clash at Galwan Valley in Eastern Ladakh on Monday which claimed the lives of 20 soldiers, there has been a massive outrage among the people with a tremendous demand that all Chinese products be banned from use.
Fans have asked the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on social media to remove the title sponsor of IPL, Vivo, which is a Chinese phone manufacturer.
In December last year, Vivo retained the title sponsorship rights of IPL for a period of five years with a whopping Rs 2,199 crore.
