IN GRAPHICS: IPL vs Farmers suicide due to drought in Maharashtra

New Delhi: The Bombay High Court asked the BCCI to shift all the IPL matches after April 30 from Maharashtra due to the acute water crisis in the state. Mumbai, Pune and Nagpur are the three venues in Maharashtra scheduled to hold the IPL matches. Maharashtra -- home to Rising Pune Supergiants and Mumbai Indians -- was to host 13 games after April 30, including the final in Mumbai.

Around 3,228 farmers across Mahrashtra have committed suicide last year — the highest number of suicides since 2001.
