The upcoming edition of the IPL, which is slated to get underway on September 19, holds even higher significance as it will mark the return of many prominent players on the field after the COVID-19 break. In the past year, Rahul has emerged as a vital cog of the Indian team in white-ball cricket and is expected to do well in IPL 2020.

Also, along with piling up a mountain of runs, the dasher will also have the onus of leading the side and it will be interesting to see how he’ll react to the test. Notably, the pitches in UAE are known to favour the spinner and the boundaries are also on the larger side. Hence, Rahul and other KXIP players will be tackling a different challenge altogether.
