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. Recently, Dream11, who are the title sponsors for IPL 2020, released an advertisement campaign #YeApnaGameHai in which MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Shikhar Dhawan, Jasprit Bumrah and  Rishabh Pant can be seen playing street cricket aka gully cricket. Rohit Sharma Goes Down Memory Lane, Remembers Gully Cricket Days.

Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma can be seen getting selected in a team through a unique method while his teammate Hardik Pandya bowls with mobile phone in one hand. Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni bizarrely dismissed a batsman and Rishabh Pant’s keeping position is absolutely hilarious. The TVC didn’t take long in getting viral as gully cricket fans were able to relate with the players. IPL 2020 Schedule Time Table for PDF Download Online.
