10 Things fans will miss in IPL 2020

9. No family members

The feeling of witnessing the family members of players cheering for their team, praying for their victory, and supporting them with warmth is immense. Over the years, the presence of the better halves and children of different players on the ground has been a regular sight. We all have seen Mrs. Dhoni calmly supporting MS with their adorable daughter Ziva in her lap.

So have Anushka Sharma, Geeta Basra, Priyanka Raina, etc. been spotted on various occasions supporting their spouse and the entire team with a grin on their face. However, this year the family members of the players will not have such easy access to the movement and they are not permitted to even travel on the same vehicles as members of the support staff to the venues of the training and matches.

10. No mascots

A very common sight of all the IPL matches is the coming out of mascots alongside match referees, umpires, and the two captains at the time of toss. There are not any such sights on offer this time as the mode of the toss has been changed as well.

Not only there would not be any mascots walking out unlike all the past editions of the league, but the traditional form of exchanging team sheets at the brink of the match to inform the opposite team about the playing eleven will also be carried out in a new, electronic avatar. As per reports, the captain and management are supposed to share the team sheets in digital form to avoid physical contact.
