How many IPL matches are there in IPL 2020?
The 2020 Indian Premier League, also referred to as IPL 13, is that the thirteenthseason of theIPL, a Twenty20 cricket (T20) professional league was found out in 2007 by the BCCI. Certain rules and regulations including, players aren't approved to use saliva to form the ball shine, without an audience, all the matches are going to be played, after the toss, the captains don't greet, the third umpire, instead of the on-field umpire, would adjudicate front foot no-balls, and if a player tests positive for COVID-19, teams are going to be allowed substitutions. In IPL 2020, about 60 matches are going to be held. Those sixty matches are held this year in the United Arab Emirates. IPL 2020 will see eight franchisees renew their respective rivalries and seek to win the trophy: Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders, Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Capitals,Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rajasthan Royals, Royal Challengers Bangalore, and Kings XI Punjab.
The teams to beat will once more be Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians and MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings. Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals have made substantial changes to their line-up, while Royal Challengers Bangalore of Virat Kohli will attempt to get out of the rut they need been certain two seasons now. As always, Sunrisers Hyderabad remains outside favourites, while this point around, Rajasthan Royals will hope their millionaire stars deliver. The subsequent are the captains of teams participating in IPL 2020:
1. MS Dhoni, Chennai Super Kings
2. Rohit Sharma, Mumbai Indians
3. Virat Kohli, Royal Challengers Bangalore
4. David Warner, Sunrisers Hyderabad
5. Steven Smith, Rajasthan Royals
6. Dinesh Karthik, Kolkata Knight Riders
7. Shreyas Iyer, Delhi Capitals
8. KL Rahul, Kings 11 Punjab
Although the Mumbai Indians and the Chennai Super Kings – the most successful teams in the tournament – have stuck to their inspiring captains Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni, Kings XI Punjab has found a new leader in KL Rahul. Steve Smith and David Warner will lead the Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad respectively, thus becoming the only teams to be led by overseas internationals. Star India Opener Rohit Sharma is the most prolific IPL captain in the history of the tournament, having won four titles, including in 2019. Under his leadership, the Indians of Mumbai expect to continue scaling new heights in the 2020 season. MS Dhoni, one of India's most prolific captains, who announced his retirement last month, enjoyed tremendous
success in the IPL as well.
He led the Chennai Super Kings to three titles, the most recent of which came in IPL 2018. They almost successfully defended the title in IPL 2019, before losing to Mumbai in the nail-biting final and finishing fifth. Before IPL 2018, the seasoned wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik was made the captain of two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders. Despite doing relatively well over the two editions, KKR has not contributed to the total since then. They made the IPL 2018 playoffs and just barely missed a spot in the top four during the 2019 season. Can Karthik assist KKR in seeking silverware in the 2020 IPL, under the guidance of new head coach Brendon McCullum and England skipper Eoin Morgan?
David Warner has been reinstated as captain of the franchise for IPL 2020 by Sunrisers Hyderabad. He succeeds Captain Kane Williamson of New Zealand, who has been the full-time SRH captain since the IPL in 2018. In the wake of the team's sub-par results under Ajinkya Rahane, the Australian, whose national captaincy suspension by Cricket Australia expired in March 2020, was made Rajasthan Royals captain midway through the 2019 IPL season. The captaincy credentials of Steve Smith are strong, with him having led Rising Pune Supergiant to the IPL 2017 final. More worryingly for the franchise, RCB has finished in two of the last three seasons at the very bottom of the points table, only managing to finish sixth in the other.
But in IPL 2020, things could still be different for the team, as Kohli will work with new
management set-ups, including Mike Hesson, director of cricket operations, and Simon Katich, head coach. Among the IPL 2020 captains, the 25-year-old Shreyas Iyer is the youngest. Midway through the 2018 season, he was put in charge of the Delhi Capitals (then Delhi Daredevils), replacing Gautam Gambhir. Iyer was charged with changing one of the least successful IPL teams' fortunes, but the early signs were encouraging. DC made it to No.3 on the points table in 2019 under his captaincy, motivated by some good performances by youngsters Rishabh Pant and Prithvi Shaw. R Ashwin, who was Kings XI Punjab's captain in 2019, was moved to the Delhi
Capitals. On the day of the IPL 2020 auctions, KXIP revealed that their new skipper will be the opener, KL Rahul.
