Vivo pulls out of IPL 2020 sponsorship

MUMBAI: In or out?

Well first came the announcement that Chinese mobile company Vivo was in as the sponsor of the IPL T20 tournament, which would be held in the UAE from September to November this year.

Now comes the news that it is out. Vivo today announced that it would back out of the title sponsorship of the IPL following the backlash about its decision to go ahead on social media.

India and China have been having a verbal duel about national borders which the former says the latter has impinged upon and killed its soldiers. Since then, India has been gradually building barriers to many a trade and economic activity with China.
