Over the last decade, it has become a norm that no new big Bollywood releases are slotted during the IPL. However, this time the cash-rich tournament is being conducted around the same time the general elections are being held in the country.
Former India captain and coach Anil Kumble is however convinced that the cricket will score over the elections as the No.1 entertainer.
