Cricket fever is very high as the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2020) is just a few days away. Preparations of all the teams are underway, and fans active on social media must be aware of the fact. The upcoming season is even more significant as it will mark the return of many prominent players after a long coronavirus-induced halt.
