At least it can be guessed that the biggest contenders for the trophy in this season of IPL will be Sunrisers Hyderabad, Kolkata Knight Riders, and Chennai Super Kings. It would require some ambition and organization to organize such a big tournament in the era of the global health crisis. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) can be considered more successful in dealing with coronavirus than India. There have been around 81,000 cases in this country and just 400 people have died.
Despite this, organizing cricket with the help of bio-bubble (bio-safe environment) is a big challenge. Players cannot break the quarantine and they will be regularly examined, which will become very difficult due to frequent travel and extremely long duration of the event from 19 September to 10 November. Although cricket started in early July. At that time the West Indies team went on a tour of England. But the Indian Premium League (IPL) is the first such tournament in which many teams are participating.
Other games have shown that this change is easily possible. Many of Europe's football leagues have completed their seasons following lockdown. However, he played his matches in front of the empty stadiums. During this period only a few positive cases came and almost no matches were canceled. The recently concluded US Open also handled the event well, with the Dominic theme winning their first Grand Slam. The only exception was the women's doubles pair of Timea Babos and Christina Mladenovic, who had to withdraw from the event due to contact with the French-born Benoit Pere, who was found positive before the tournament began.
Perhaps the IPL will look like the NBA. The NBA is completing the 2019-20 season at Florida's Disney World. Florida has several NBA courts, restaurants, hotels, and leisure resorts that play an important role in keeping players comfortable and entertained.
How is the pitch?
Like in India, tracks in the UAE have traditionally been dry and have been friendly to batsmen. Most of these will be fresh tracks, so some big scores can be expected to form in the early part of the competition. With this, the pitch will slow down as the IPL progresses. If you look at the old evidence, you will find that some matches will be scored on the Dubai pitch. One of the two other grounds is Sharjah Flat and Small. Abu Dhabi gets a bounce, but slows down a bit for batting. The weather there will be the same as in the normal months of IPL in India in April and May. All these things indicate that the spinners will do well.
Spinner
There are very few things in cricket that can compete with the trend of the recently growing wrist spinner. At one time this species was dying out. But now it is considered necessary to have a wrist spinner. With this, finger spinners are becoming out of trend. This preference can be easily understood in a period of highly aggressive batting. Wrist spinners can be more successful in non-turning wickets. He has more variety and possesses a lot of 'mystery', especially for left-arm bowlers like Kuldeep Yadav. There will be a dependence on the captains to take wickets. But it is also worth noting that off-spinners are generally more suitable for slow pitches. It is likely to happen in the tournament going on in the UAE. Sunil Narayan and Ravichandran Ashwin have been well-known wrist spinners and have always done well in the IPL.
Dhoni's return
When Chennai Super Kings take on Mumbai Indians in the first match on Saturday, fans will see Mahendra Singh Dhoni at the cricket ground after 439 days. Even though he no longer looks like a flock, the emptiness of last year has been a family mourning for the loyal fans of the Chennai Super Kings captain.
Now Dhoni has retired from the national team, so it will be exciting to see the old Dhoni. Despite his doubts about his batting, Captain Dhoni will continue to be a tireless force and inspire his players in a calm and restrained manner, which has always been his identity. Dhoni's team won the trophy in the year 2019, while there were many players in his team who were getting old. Last year, this team lost in the finals only. This time the team has to play without Suresh Raina, but still, they consider themselves as strong contenders for victory.
Future of RCB?
Many times you would think that if Virat Kohli's final legacy does not depend on what he does for the Indian team. Instead, it depends on whether they somehow make Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) the winner. This is a permanent question, which Kohli has not been able to answer.
RCB finished eighth last year. He lost six of the first eight matches. Despite being a good player in the past years, RCB has not been able to break the chain of defeat. T20 cricket belongs to Momentum and RCB has failed to produce enough Momentum. She generally dashed into chasing big scores. The fast bowling department is a matter of concern for the team this year, but it will be compensated by Kohli's spinners like Yajuvendra Chahal, Adam Jampa, and Washington Sundar.
most valuable Player
It is difficult to estimate. There are better players from all over the world in IPL. But if you look at the last season, Andre Russell as the most valuable player of this year. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Russell has been the most dangerous batsman in the history of IPL. He also helps a lot with the ball. But form in cricket keeps on changing and previously there have been problems with Russell regarding fitness. This does not mean that it is entirely a horse race. Kohli, Narayan, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Joe Butler, and Ben Stokes can show awesome.
After all, who will win?
Given the nature of T20, this question has always been difficult. But some teams have consistently performed well over the years. It tops Mumbai Indians, having won two of the last three seasons. It can be anticipated that Sunrisers Hyderabad, Kolkata Knight Riders, and Chennai Super Kings will be the strong contenders for the title this season.
