Will the IPL 2020 go ahead?

The Novel Coronavirus has disrupted major sports events around the world, even spelling uncertainty over the Tokyo Olympics. Will the Coronavirus have a similar effect on international cricket including the Indian Premier League 2020?

The start of the IPL 2020 has already been postponed for 17 days due to Coronavirus but will it follow the fate of annual tournaments such as Indian Wells with this year's edition being cancelled completely? Video analysis here: https://youtu.be/JvdPPjosYgo

As explained in the video, my personal view/guess is that the BCCI may play behind closed doors rather than incur losses. But with the recent exodus of foreign players from PSL over the Coronavirus threat, even that looks unlikely.
