What is the IPL?

 Okay, the Indian Premier League (IPL) is a professional Twenty20 cricket league from, you guessed it, India. Twenty20 is the limited-overs version of cricket where a team can only bat for a maxi-mum of 20 overs and each team has a single inning. Lost already? It’s not that complicated to pick up, don’t worry. Basically, each team has one innings to try and score as many runs as possible within a period of 20 overs, from 120 balls. We usually contested the IPL in April and May, however, this year, due to the spread of COVID-19 the league was postponed and has been moved to the UAE. A total of eight teams from across India compete in the league representing cities including Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore. The tournament kicks off on June 3nd at BSE Stadium with five matches played so far – six T20 international against England, three Group 1 Champions Cup games between Chennai Super Kings & Cessna Team Punjab, Gautam Gambhir vs Rangpur Renegades & Mohali Royals; two home Tests versus Karnataka & Visakhapatnam while another ICC/IBLO game will be held September 27th around Hyderabad during Pakistan's third ODI series visit to India which won't happen until December 19th despite being scheduled back then too.
