Virat's next outing

Virat will next be seen leading his side in the Indian Premier League (IPL) that is scheduled to take place from September 19 onwards in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The IPL which was earlier scheduled for March this year was postponed indefinitely in wake of coronavirus pandemic. But after the International Cricket Council (ICC) cancelled this year's T20 World Cup, the BCCI took the opportunity to announce the cash-rich tournament to be conducted in the same period of time. Virat will be hoping to win the title for his team Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) this season as it is yet to win the coveted trophy despite reaching finals on a couple of occasions.
