IPL 2020 anchors and hosts: The SportsRush presents for you the complete list of Star Sports’ hosts and anchors for IPL 2020.

The biggest cricket carnival around the world is all set to begin in the form of the 13th season of the Indian Premier League from tomorrow as defending champions Mumbai Indians will take on runners-up in Chennai Super Kings in Abu Dhabi.

In what will be the second IPL season to be played in the UAE, only three stadiums will host the entire tournament which is likely to culminate on November 8. While BCCI hasn’t made public the schedule for the knockouts, it had earlier hinted that IPL 2020 would be played between September 19 – November 8.

With only a day remaining for IPL 2020 to kick-start, it is worth mentioning that all players have reached UAE after completing their national duties. England and Rajasthan Royals all-rounder Ben Stokes, who is in Christchurch due to personal reasons, remains the only player who is yet to reach UAE.

Recently, host broadcaster Star Sports also revealed the full list of hosts and anchors for the 13th season of the IPL. Mayanti Langer, who is a legendary name in her field, won’t be seen in IPL 2020 after the same was confirmed by Star Sports on their Twitter handle.

Having covered multiple major events across sports, Langer will undoubtedly be missed by her plentiful fans. To put to rest all the speculations, Langer took to her Twitter handle to announce the birth of her baby boy. Posting a photo with her husband and India all-rounder Stuart Binny, Langer wished luck to her team at Star Sports for IPL 2020.

In Langer’s absence, Star Sports have roped in renowned Australian sports anchor Neroli Meadows for IPL 2020. Often seen covering cricket and other sports in Australia, Meadows will make her IPL debut this season.

Apart from Meadows, names such as Jatin Sapru, Suhail Chandok, Sanjana Ganesan, Anant Tyagi, Suren Sundaram, Kira Narayanan, Nashpreet Kaur, Tanya Purohit and Dheeraj Juneja will be seen hosting IPL 2020 pre and post-match shows from studio/stadiums across languages to enhance the user experience.
