The 13th edition of the cash-rich IPL will get underway in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) from September 19. The tournament opener will be played between MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super kings (CSK) and four time IPL winning team Mumbai Indians.

Last season, MI defeated CSK in the finals to emerge as the IPL 2019 champions and even this year, under Rohit's captaincy, MI will hope to continue their good run in the upcoming season.

MI faced a major blow after Sri Lankan speedster Lasith Malinga made himself unavailable for IPL 2020, due to personal reasons and to be with family back home in Sri Lanka. The franchise then roped in Australian speedster James Pattinson as a replacement for the veteran speedster.
