Rohit Sharma set to lead MI for fifth IPL title win:
Last year, Rohit’s daughter was with him during the whole tournament as he leads the team to their fourth IPL title win. In the IPL 2019 grand-finale, Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings faced off each other. Rohit Sharma-led side won that marquee clash in a dramatic way. MI veteran fast bowler Lasith Malinga bowled an outstanding last over as CSK lost the match by just one run.
This time fans are expecting the high-intense opening match of IPL 2020 between the two successful teams of the tournament, MI and CSK.
The league is set to start on 19th September. 60 games will be played around 53 days in three venues-Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah. The grand finale will be played on 10th November.
Meanwhile, CSK and RCB will also land on Friday (21st August). All the teams would go under the quarantine period before starting their practice sessions ahead of the commencement of the league.
