IPL 2020 Team Squads
IPL franchises had to make some changes in their squads after the venue has been shifted to UAE. Some players have got themselves injured, while some players opted to stay away from the league due to COVID-19 pandemic.
According to the latest news, Deepak Chahar, the CSK pacer has been tested Corona positive along with 12 other support staff members. Thus, there are less chances of him being participating in the early games of the tournament.
