Fans can hardly wait for the much-delayed Indian Premier League to start on Saturday - and their excited tweets are proof. The Twenty20 tournament usually starts in March, but was delayed this year along with other sporting events due to the coronavirus pandemic. It is now all set to begin in two days' time and expected to bring some welcome relief to cricket fans. Although the tournament has pared down on the glitz factor amid the pandemic, excitement for IPL 2020 remains high as ever on social media.
Take a look at some of the funniest posts about IPL 2020 that have flooded social media:
This tweet from Paytm First Games sums up the way fans are eagerly waiting for IPL to begin. "Bass 2 din aur.. #IPLin2Days," the gaming platform wrote while sharing their video compilation, which received an amused reaction from Paytm Founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma.

To reduce the number of people in the grounds, there will be no cheerleaders this year. But fans on social media are already cheering for their favourite teams.

All eight teams have been in strict, bio-secure 'bubbles' since landing in the UAE, with the competition set to kick off when defending champions Mumbai Indians take on Chennai Super Kings in Abu Dhabi on September 19.
