The Indian Premier League 2020 (IPL 2020) begins from September 19 onwards. This year’s edition will take place in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). There will be no home advantage for teams and thus there will be ‘level playing field’. However, few teams will continue to start as favourites and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) happens to be on top of that list. The MS Dhoni-led side is the most dangerous team in IPL. The Super Kings happen to be the most consistent team in IPL and never in the tournament’s history they have failed to qualify for playoffs.
