Bengaluru: Amid tensions at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) between India and China, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni has signed up with Chinese mobile phone company Oppo for a new campaign ahead of IPL 2020.

On social media, there was a call to boycott Chinese products and taking into account of the sentiments of India, the BCCI and Vivo suspended their partnership for IPL 2020.
