IPL 2021: Afghanistan to telecast matches after filtering Anti-Islamic content

The Taliban had stated a couple of days ago that the second half of the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) will not be broadcast in Afghanistan as the league showcases anti-Islamic content that shows girls dancing and barred hair women in attendance.

However, a latest development has stated that SportRta will once again start broadcasting the IPL in Afghanistan. But then, the matches will be prerecorded and non-Islamic content will be removed from the telecast. Also, the matches will be telecast after a one-day delay.

“SportRta has resumed broadcasting the ongoing IPL but the matches will be recorded & telecast after the removal of some non-Islamic contents from the live matches & will broadcast on one day delay,” tweeted M.Ibrahim Momand, who is a reporter.

Chennai Super Kings are currently occupying the top place in the IPL points table

The MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings outfit is currently occupying the top spot in the IPL points table. The three-time IPL champions started their campaign in Phase 2 of the IPL on a rousing note, beating Mumbai Indians by 20 runs.

In the second match of the IPL second leg, the Kolkata Knight Riders dished out an absolute mauling to the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) side. The Eoin Morgan led Kolkata side beat the Virat Kohli led Bangalore side with 9 wickets and 10 overs to spare.

The third match of IPL Phase 2 saw the Rajasthan Royals (RR) side beating Punjab Kings (PBKS) in a roller coaster of a contest. With 4 runs needed off the last 6 deliveries, the Punjab Kings were the favorites to romp home. However, an excellent final over from Kartik Tyagi, where the right arm pacer conceded just 1 run ensured that the Sanju Samson-led side came back from the brink of defeat to post a stunning 2-run victory.

The 2021 edition of the IPL will conclude on 15th October 2021, and the summit clash will be played in Dubai.
