Fans are ready to witness the tournament to help them fight the crown blues.
After a long wait, the Indian Premier League (IPL) is set to kick off in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) from Saturday and fans can’t keep their cool. Although there are still a few days left before the matches start, # IPL2020 along with the team names have started to create quite a stir online.
Prior to the mega sporting event, BCCI Secretary Jay Shah shared photos of the two stadiums in Dubai and Abu Dhabi that are decorated to host the tournament. When the photos started circulating, an online meme festival was sparked that set the stage for this year’s epic battle for the trophy.
3 more days left!
What a spectacular and impressive sight from the stadiums in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
