IPL reveals new logo featuring Dream11

-

 The Indian Premier League (IPL) yesterday revealed its logo for the upcoming 2020 season featuring title sponsors Dream11.

The IPL shared the logo as a story on its Instagram handle with the hashtag “#Dream11IPL.”

Defending champions Mumbai Indians also shared the logo on their Instagram handle.

“Now taking guard, #Dream11IPL,” they said in the caption.

Dream11 emerged as the highest bidder for the IPL 2020 title right. Already a partner of the BCCI, Dream11 outbid education-technology platforms Byju’s and Unacademy to win the race.

According to sources, Dream11 wanted to have a three-year deal with IPL but the board was ‘uninterested’.

“BCCI had said that this will be a one-year deal but Dream11 wanted to have it for three years. Dream11 has offered Rs 222 crore for this year, Rs 240 crore for the next year and Rs 240 crore for the third year,” sources said.

“But the BCCI said that after the Covid-19 pandemic gets over, they are expected to get a good amount next year, so can’t commit for the future. The board also said if Vivo backs out again, then Dream11 will be given the first preference.

“There was discussion going on and that’s why the official announcement got delayed. But now everything is sorted out and they both have agreed to one year only. BCCI may soon issue the statement,” the source added.

A team of Indian scientists has developed a new technology platform for fluorometric detection of SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) that is more reliable than the existing techniques, according to information provided by the Ministry of Science and Technology.  The technology platform detects viruses by measuring the fluorescent light that is emitted and can also be used to detect other DNA/RNA pathogens such as HIV, influenza, HCV, Zika, Ebola, bacteria, and other mutating pathogens. Scientists from Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, an autonomous institute of the government, along with scientists from IISc (India Institute of Science), have demonstrated a noncanonical nucleic acid-based G-quadruplex (GQ) topology targeted reliable conformational polymorphism (GQ-RCP) platform to diagnose Covid-19 clinical samples. This work has been published recently in the journal ‘ACS Sensors’ and the team has also filed a patent for the novel technology. Read More
