Today, lets talk about key players of IPL 2020 Teams, the ones these team depend on for their title campaign. IPL 2020 will be played under the most extraordinary circumstances that the world of cricket has ever witnessed. But that does not take the sheen away from the tournament one bit. The quality of cricket is expected to be as top-notch as it has been since the time of the inception of the league. There are extremely talented and quality players in each of the teams who would look to turn the tide of the game in their favor.

There is bound to be a competitive and healthy rivalry between the bat and the ball. Here’s a look at some of the key players of IPL 2020 Teams. The list is subjective and is based on past performances in the tournament.

Rohit Sharma (Mumbai Indians)

The defending champions boast of a healthy and talented batting line up with the inclusion of explosive all-rounders at the back end of the batting order. However, if MI is to retain the title and be called the five-time IPL champions, they would need their Skipper, Rohit to shine. We are all aware of the destructive match-winning ability of Rohit, who in rhythm is unstoppable.

Rohit’s almost poetic shotmaking, grace, elegance, and poise at the top of the order would add the necessary momentum to the Mumbai Batting Line Up. His astute captaincy is expected to play a key role this time as well. Among the key players of IPL 2020 Teams.

MS Dhoni (Chennai Super Kings)

Like all other previous seasons, MS Dhoni would be holding the key for CSK this time as well. In the absence of Suresh Raina, Dhoni has to take the mantle of responsibility in the CSK middle order, which poses a not so effective look. His match-winning prowess, his incredible hitting ability will be something that CSK will rely on this time as well. His captaincy and leadership will unspeakably be the trump card for CSK’s success in the tournament as it has been for the last decade. Among the key players of IPL 2020 Teams.

Shreyas Iyer (Delhi Capitals)

If Delhi Capitals are to finally lay their claim on the trophy, they would need a young mind in Shreyas Iyer to fire from the offset. A middle-order batsman who has earned countless aplomb for his batting talents and his innings building prowess, Shreyas would be the glue that would bind the Capitals batting order which looks extremely attractive on paper.

With Ricky Ponting, the shrewdest of tacticians at the helm of affairs, Shreyas is expected to learn the tricks of the trade quickly. Among the key players of IPL 2020 Teams.

Andre Russell (Kolkata Knight Riders)

The Superman for KKR, Andre Russell is a one-man army. Once he gets his eyes set, he can muscle the ball to any corner of the ground. No target seems impossible when Russell is at the crease, a belief he has built over the heap of his brilliant performances for the Knights in the recent past.

His more than handy bowling and incredible fielding will only add to the mammoth value that the burly West Indian all-rounder commands in the KKR dressing room. Among the key players of IPL 2020 Teams.

David Warner (Sunrisers Hyderabad)

The explosive Australian left-handed opener would hold the fortune if SRH is to win the trophy for the second time after 2016. Warner is known for providing the explosive start to the Hyderabad innings and denting the morale of the opposition bowlers completely, decimating the attack with relative ease.

His opening flurry would be crucial to the team’s success owing to the impressive bowling attack that they possess. Among the key players of IPL 2020 Teams.

Virat Kohli (Royal Challengers Bangalore)

It has almost been a sort of divine conspiracy that the highest run-scorer in the history of the tournament has not been able to lay his hands on the coveted IPL trophy even once. Virat has churned out the most incredible batting performances for the team throughout the decade and yet to no avail.

The RCB has fettered out at the fag end of a tournament succumbing to pressure despite boasting some of the biggest names in World Cricket. Virat has become an indispensable figure for the franchise and he would be the most crucial role if RCB is to finally be called IPL champions. Among the key players of IPL 2020 Teams.

Glenn Maxwell (Kings XI Punjab)

The explosive Australian batting all-rounder holds the key for the King’s XI fortunes. His breathtaking innovation and incredible hitting prowess would be crucial for the Kings to win the trophy for the first time. Maxwell has an enviable record in the 2014 leg of the Tournament, the last time that the tournament was played here. The experience of this condition holds him in good stead. Among the key players of IPL 2020 Teams.

Jos Buttler (Rajasthan Royals)

In the absence of Ben Stokes, the maverick wicket-keeper batsman would hold the key for the Royals. Butter has undoubtedly been one of the best limited-overs batsmen in the last few years. His unpredictable batting style with shots all around the ground would make him a dangerous prospect for any opposition bowler. Among the key players of IPL 2020 Teams.
