IPL 2020 is just around the corner, the debates and discussions on the upcoming season have been going around in full swing. Fans and cricketers are already indulging in hilarious social media banters regarding their favorite players and franchises for IPL 2020.

Recently, former Indian cricketer and commentator, Aakash Chopra picked the four IPL teams that are having the best finishers in this edition of the league and also ranked these sides in order.
Aakash began by picking Mumbai Indians, which is one of the most successful teams in IPL, as the best finishers in IPL 2020. While talking about the team, Aakash Chopra also pointed out the fact that how the big-hitter Kieron Pollard is in their squad this team. He said:
“At the top spot, I will keep the Mumbai Indians. They have Kieron Pollard who is the lord of T20 cricket, what sort of batting he is doing in CPL! He scored 72 runs in 28 balls and is scoring consistently. He plays spin well and will do well in the UAE, there is no doubt about that.”

Further, he said that the presence of Kieron Pollard in the team with the Pandya brothers makes the team Mumbai Indians a formidable finishing unit. He said:
“And along with him, they have Krunal Pandya and Hardik Pandya. So you are looking at a formidable combination of finishers. You can even add Suryakumar Yadav to the list although he bats more up the order but used to bat lower down for KKR.”

At no. 2 Aakash Chopra picked Kolkata Knight Riders in the list of the best finishers in IPL 2020. He also highlighted the presence of Andre Russell, Eoin Morgan, and Dinesh Karthik in the team. He said:
“At No.2, I have got KKR. They have Andre Russell, who gives them the muscle. Although he is good enough alone, they also have Eoin Morgan, who is in great form and Dinesh Karthik.”
He added:
“All three of them will play as well with one being the captain, Andre Russell cannot be dropped in anyone’s dreams as well and Eoin Morgan I feel will play all matches for this team.”
In Aakash Chopra’s list of teams with the best finishers in IPL 2020, Delhi Capitals grabbed the third spot. Aakash Chopra picked Rishabh Pant and Shimron Hetmyer as the key finishers of the team. He said:
“After that, I have Delhi Capitals. They have a lot of options but more in the overseas contingent. They have Rishabh Pant who is likely to bat at No.4. Along with him, another left-hander Shimron Hetmyer is expected to bat, who is doing well in the CPL.”

Further, Aakash Chopra reckoned that the Delhi Capitals could also use Alex Carey or Marcus Stoinis in the finisher’s role. He said:
“He does not have any problems against spin. They have two other options in Alex Carey and Marcus Stoinis, so they have solved their lower middle-order batting problems.”
The fourth and final pick in Aakash Chopra’s list of teams with the best finishers for IPL 2020 was MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings, because of the presence of MS Dhoni. He said:
“Last but not the least, I am going with Chennai Super Kings because they have MS Dhoni. He is like a one-man army although he does not have great finishers along with him.”

He also said that CSK having a combination of Ravindra Jadeja, Kedar Jadhav, and Dwayne Bravo could provide some much-needed support to the team. He said:
“They have Kedar Jadhav, Ravindra Jadeja and Dwayne Bravo who together would be able to do a good job at finishing.”
Meanwhile, the tournament kickstart on 19th September in UAE and will be held across three venues -Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and Dubai. With the finale clash taking place on November 10th.
