The 13th edition of the IPL, postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, will be held over three venues, i.e, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah.
In the second match of the tournament, the Kings XI Punjab will take on Delhi Capitals in Dubai in an evening match. After a solid start last season, the Punjab team saw a string of losses to miss out on a play-off berth and finish sixth in the 2019 edition.
Having made a couple of tough changes for this edition, the KL Rahul-led side will look to change their fortunes as they chase the elusive IPL trophy. With the likes of Mohammad Shami, Mayank Agarwal and power-hitter Chris Gayle, who on his day can send the ball out of the park, the Punjab team will look to get off on a strong start and keep the momentum going.
The Punjab team will play two afternoon matches this season and they will face three-time winners Chennai Super Kings to bring an end to their league stage. KXIP will play MS Dhoni-led CSK in Abu Dhabi in an afternoon match in their last league game before the playoffs. Every team will play 14 league games in their bid to qualify for the playoffs.
