Hope Delhi Capitals win IPL 13: Kevin Pietersen

New Delhi [India], September 12 (ANI): "Hope Delhi Capitals win," said former England skipper Kevin Pietersen while leaving for UAE to undertake broadcasting duties in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020.
Pietersen was recently commentating in the now-concluded T20I series between England and Australia. Now, the former English batsman has left from the shores of Southampton and he has made his way to Dubai.
The former England skipper posted a photo of himself on Instagram and captioned the post as: "From a bubble in the UK to a bubble in Dubai...! I love that we have cricket back and as always very excited about working on the @iplt20. Who's winning? I hope Delhi."
During his playing days, Pietersen had represented Royal Challengers Bangalore, Delhi Daredevils, and Rising Pune SuperGiants in the IPL.
Delhi Capitals would be led by Shreyas Iyer this year and the side has added the likes of Ravi Ashwin and Ajinkya Rahane to further bolster their lineup.
Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings will be locking horns in the opening match of the IPL 2020 on September 19. Dubai will play host to 24 games, 20 matches will be hosted by Abu Dhabi while Sharjah will hold 12 games.
The dates and venues for the playoff stages will be released later. The opening match between the finalists of the 2019 edition will be played in Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
The IPL 2020 will be played from September 19-November 10 in the UAE across three venues --Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah.
There will be a total of 10 doubleheaders in this edition of the tournament. The evening matches will be played at 7:30 PM IST while the afternoon matches are due to start at 3:30 PM IST.
All the teams have already reached UAE to take part in the tournament and are currently undergoing training. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) was the last team to begin training as they finally stepped on the field last week after their third round of COVID-19 tests. (ANI)
