After a fantastic season opener in Abu Dhabi, IPL 2020 action moves to Dubai as Delhi Capitals gear up to lock horns with IPL 2014 runners-up Kings XI Punjab. Both the north Indian franchises have not been able to win a title yet, but they will look forward to ending this drought in IPL 2020.

On the other side, new captain KL Rahul will lead the Mohali-based franchise in IPL 2020. The team management appointed Anil Kumble as the team's new head coach, and the squad has a good mixture of youth and experience.
