IPL 2020 will take place despite a life-threatening global pandemic. For cricket lovers stuck at home, this is one of the very few good things to happen in 2020. The first game will be played on 19th September 2020 and the final on 10 November 2020. The schedule has not been announced yet but we do have a data on every team. BCCI has capped teams at 24 players each which is not a big deal for the teams since most have a bench of 24 or 25 players even before this. Below is the player’s list for each team.

MI and KKR have always had a very good squad and so is the case for this year too. CSK although ageing squad has show time and time again that age is just a number. Addition of Chris Morris and Finch would certainly boost RCB’s chances as well. A team that underachieves on a regular basis. Will this be their year? With just three venues to play on, the IPL 2020 looks to be a more open tournament than those of the past.
