Let’s Get Ready for the Vivo IPL 2020 (Season 13th)
Source: mediareferee.com
Indian Premier League (IPL) is a tournament that brings people back together. Families who used to eat dinner on their own will now gather up in front of the television and will eat and watch together. A couple who always fought for the remote will now have a popcorn tub in the hand and the supporting team’s t-shirt on.
Friends who couldn’t get time to meet will now spend every evening together commenting on the match and players (of course!).
The competition is tight. Who do you think will take the trophy home this time? Chennai Super Kings who lost in season 12 with a one-single run or last year’s winner, Mumbai Indians? Or someone unexpected like Kolkata Knight Riders or Rajasthan Royals?
So let’s wait and start a countdown for the opening match of Vivo IPL 2020. For the updates of IPL 2020, follow Instagram and Twitter’s page of Technographx. And don’t forget to check out our website for the technical updates.
