The buzz around the most-awaited T20 leagues has already begun with IPL chairman Brijesh Patel confirming that the 2020 edition of the league will kick-start from September 19 at the UAE. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) spinner Harbhajan Singh was one of the first cricketers to kick-start the banter on social media with none other than the captain of the arch-rival Royals Challengers Bangalore (RCB) Virat Kohli. Harbhajan Singh, who completed his move from Mumbai Indians to CSK in 2018, has gone on to become an integral part of the Yellove side, leading the team's spin arsenal. 

RCB skipper Virat Kohli took to social media to share visuals of his new 'electrifying' yellow shoes with a caption hinting that the shoe was dialed up to turn the match on its head. Harbhajan Singh took a sly dig at the Indian skipper while replying to him and said that the show looked like it was specifically made for Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
