The 28th match of the ongoing Dream11 Indian Premier League 2020 (IPL 2020) season went underway on Monday, October 12 at Sharjah between Bangalore and Kolkata. Prior to the match, Bangalore captain Virat Kohli won the toss and opted to bat first at the high-scoring venue. Bangalore’s out-of-form opener Aaron Finch started cautiously and formed a 67-run opening stand with Devdutt Padikkal. However, the charismatic Australian batsman ended up boring the brunt of Bangalore fans on social media for maintaining a “slower” strike rate in his innings.
