Earlier this month, Indian cricket enthusiasts received a signif🐓icant morale boost with🐼 the affirmative announcement of the 2020 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
The initial wind💮ow of the tournament was slotted in between last week of March, until mid-May. However, due to the onset of the g🎉lobal pandemic situation, the competition was deferred indefinitely.
The news of the cash-rich lea✱gue 🔥being shifted to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) served as music to the ears for ardent Indian cricket supporters, who last saw their stars in action in February, during the New Zealand tour.
The IPL T20, now scheduled between September 19-November 10, is in its execution phase. Players and staff members of various franchises have departed, or in the process of their departure, 🥀to the UAE.
As a result, the franchises have started creating a buzz on their social media handle. Recently, the Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Rohit Sharma, and his family were seen gearing up ൩for travel to the UAE.
MI’s Twitter handle uploaded a picture of Rohit and wife Ritika donning a PPE kit before their travel to Dubai, along with daughter Samaira.
