IPL 2020 will be a festival of joy, says Kohli
Now, after a six-month hiatus, the cricket festival is back. And former Indian opener Virat Kohli feels IPL 2020 will bring a lot of joy in the Game.

The Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper also said that teams have come to accept the new normal of living and playing in a bio-bubble.

The Indian Premier League (IPL) of this season will be played out in empty stadiums, at least for now, and while Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli acknowledged it could feel weird, he put it in perspective by saying they’re going to play for the love of the game.

“Of course, it is going to be a strange feeling. I won’t deny that we are going to walk out feeling different to what we have in the past,” Kohli said during a virtual press conference on Thursday.

“At the end of the day, you realize that you’re playing this sport and you started playing for the love of it. Because now you have an opportunity to display or reflect the affection because the entire country is watching and the whole world is watching, and it would bring a lot of excitement to the people. Yeah, as long as we’re playing for the right reasons, and we’re playing for the nature of why we started playing for the essence of why we started playing this sport, I think all the external factors become irrelevant.
