The
commencement
of
IPL
2020
has
created
massive
buzz
and
excitement
among
the
fans
and
followers
of
the
tournament.
However,
many
folks
were
questioning
the
absence
of
leading
sports
anchor
Mayanti
Langer.
As
a
result,
Mayanti
has
now
shared
on
social
media
that
she
and
her
cricketer
husband
Stuart
Binny
have
been
blessed
with
a
baby
boy.
She
then
went
on
to
thank
the
official
broadcaster
for
their
support
and
informed
us
that
she
won’t
be
hosting
the
series
this
year.
Mayanti
wrote,
"So
quite
a
few
of
you
have
reached
out,
and
many
are
speculating.
For
the
past
five
years,
my
family
at
Star
Sports
has
given
me
the
incredible
privilege
of
fronting
their
most
high
profile
events.
In
fact,
they
supported
me
when
I
needed
them
the
most.
When
I
was
pregnant
with
my
son.”
“They
made
several
adjustments
to
ensure
that
I
was
comfortable
hosting
till
I
was
20
weeks/5
months
pregnant
and
would
have
continued
doing
so
had
IPL
2020
gone
on
as
scheduled.
Stuart
and
I
were
blessed
by
the
birth
of
our
baby
boy
almost
six
weeks
ago.
Life
has
changed
for
the
better," she
added.
For
the
unversed,
Mayanti
Langer
has
been
one
of
the
most
prominent
faces
in
Indian
sports
broadcasting
and
has
had
a
long-standing
association
with
Star
Sports.
The
2020
edition
of
the
Indian
Premier
League
(IPL)
was
originally
slated
to
kick
start
from
March
29.
However,
due
to
the
coronavirus
crisis,
it
was
first
decided
to
be
pushed
ahead,
before
moving
it
to
the
UAE.
