XtraTime Web Desk: With just 18 days to go for the start of the 13th edition of Indian Premier League (IPL 2020) Abu Dhabi and Dubai are already buzzing with the atmosphere of the cash rich league. Barring the exception of Chennai Super Kings all the remaining seven franchises are quite active on social media both on and off the field. Reigning champions Mumbai Indians (MI) shared exclusive pics of their team room at their hotel in Abu Dhabi. Rohit Sharma and his team will be discussing their strategies over the next two and half months in this team room. The posh team room is the perfect get-away if you need to switch off from cricket for a while.

Delhi Capitals on Monday shared the pictures of their team coach. The coach is perfectly matched with the franchise’s identity. Both sides of the coach have the posters of the iconic locations of Dubai along with the mascot and the slogan of the team – “Yeh Hai Nayi Dilli”. On the back of the team coach is the message of the franchise i.e., “We Roar Together”. Co-owned by the GMR Group and the JSW Group, Delhi Capitals was established in 2008 as Delhi Daredevils before embracing a new avatar in December 2018. The team finished third in the 2019 edition of the tournament.

The 53 day tournament will start from September 19 and will be played across three venues in Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi. The final will be played on November 10 in Dubai.
