IPL 2020 will always have a special place in the hearts of the cricket fans because it was the first cricket tournament to take place after the COVID-19 outbreak. The entire world was waiting for a big event, and the BCCI made the big decision of organizing the Indian Premier League behind closed doors in the United Arab Emirates.
Several big names of world cricket gathered in the UAE to participate in the competition. Some players withdrew from the competition due to the bio-bubble rules, but it was a successful tournament which received enormous viewership numbers.
Mumbai Indians won that IPL season under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. Fans would remember almost all details of IPL 2020, but a majority of them might have forgotten that these five players also played in that season.
