IPL 2020 final MI vs DC: Delhi Capitals are one step away to win their maiden Indian Premier League title as they take on the mighty Mumbai Indians on Tuesday at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The Rohit Sharma-side will be eyeing their fifth IPL trophy.
After 52 days of the most closely-contested and widely-watched edition played on alien land in the backdrop of the raging COVID-19 pandemic, the BCCI can pat itself for pulling off a near-flawless tournament that gave people a chance to withdraw from prime time negativity that dominated the air space.
And now, it’s the coronation time with IPL’s most successful skipper Rohit Sharma itching to win his fifth title amid a stormy couple of weeks.
On the other hand, the Capitals, a team that had flattered to deceive for a dozen editions, will finally realise its potential on the grand stage of T20 cricket.
There hasn’t been too many editions where the two most deserving teams squared off in a summit clash, unlike this edition where Mumbai reached the finals winning 10 out of their 15 games while Capitals, despite a slump, managed to triumph in nine out of their 16 games.
IPL final will grab all eyeballs but possibly miss that man from Jharkhand who has been a regular feature in the finals since 2017.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni will be missed in an IPL final but then cricket just like life will go on at its own pace.
