Reigning champions, Mumbai Indians, will begin their IPL 2020 campaign against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on September 19 at Abu Dhabi. The BCCI released the much-awaited schedule of the cash-rich tournament on Sunday.

This year, MI will be without Lasith Malinga as the Sri Lankan speedster has opted out of the competition citing personal reasons. He has been replaced by Australia’s James Pattinson.

Former Australia spinner Brad Hogg believes that the Rohit Sharma-led side will most likely be the champions again.

“Well, Mumbai Indians look like they are going to be champions again. They are one of my top two teams going into this year’s IPL in UAE this year,” Hogg said on his Youtube channel.

“The reason for this is that they have got a good top four, they also have good allrounders and their bowling attack is stable led by two geniuses with the new ball, and in death overs – Jasprit Bumrah and Lasith Malinga.

“Also, the allrounder Hardik Pandya. He is looking to get back into cricket after a long time off due to injury. He’s also got a baby on the way as well. I just think those things will give him extra energy and he will become man of the tournament in the UAE.”
