A fan also paid tribute to the 48-year-old Pravin Tambe, who won the CPL 2020 with TKR after being disqualified from the IPL 2020. Fans also paid a tribute to Trinbago Knight Riders’ unbeaten run, as Kieron Pollard’s men won all of their 12 CPL 2020 matches. One fan while congratulating Trinbago Knight Riders also credited coach Brendon McCullum for helping the side during CPL 2020. The fan also predicted that just like McCullum guided TKR to victory in CPL 2020, the coach will also help KKR win their third IPL title this season.
With the CPL 2020 now over, attention of the Indian fans will now turn to the IPL 2020.
