India is a nation addicted to cricket and the COVID-19 crisis means that they haven’t been receiving their regular fix. The IPL season each year does much to keep the cricket crazies sane and this year, it seemed as though there would be no IPL at all. Now that the IPL 2020 schedule is announced, cricket lovers are over the moon. The IPL will be in the UAE this year – in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah thanks to the pandemic.
The IPL is one of the highlights of the cricket calendar each year and fans were missing it terribly.
This IPL season starts on the 19th of September 2020 and people are waiting for the day when they start to receive their daily dose of fast-paced, star-studded cricket.
For a long time, cricket fans were on tenterhooks, wondering if the IPL would be shelved altogether this year.
This year's IPL will be held in the UAE; fans are happy that it will be held at all.
Expectations were high as soon as the announcement was made.
The schedule was due to come out but then it didn’t and then it did.
IPL usually is held in April-May, but this year it starts in September.
The schedule finally came, and so did the twitter trend - #IPLSchedule.
There has been little live cricket to telecast or watch these days – that is set to change.
People banded together with their team’s fellow fans and shared their thoughts on which way it would go this year.
…The memes started.
Fans are rooting for their own teams, of course.
Cricket fans are happy, happy, happy.
This team has the dubious honour of being the most glamorous but the least successful team.
This season will begin with a bang – a match between two of the most beloved teams.
Mumbai Indians is the most successful team with four titles followed by Chennai Super Kings (winning thrice but having the highest win percentage of all the teams).
Indian fans cannot go and watch the matches in the stadiums this year, but IPL 2020 is happening and the schedule is out! Fans are happy – more or less.
