With the 2020 league about to kick off, social media and video platforms are going crazy about it’s arrival and are, The most popular , being this year’s anthem has crossed 1.4 million views on You Tube. The anthem titled ‘Ab Khel Bolega’ acquired much love and enthusiastic vibes from the masses.
A study done in 2018, published in the European Journal, shows that how passionately players sing their anthem can give us a clue how likely that particular team is about to win, this might sound absurd to some because players sing the anthem out of obligation it seems but it’s always fun to know about such upcoming theories in sports science.
‘Ab khel bolega’ (Let the game do the talking) or #BolBakar (chatter boxes) was released 5 months ago by star Sports, a TVC along with the BCCI. The spirit and hype is still alive.
The TVC shows the non-stop rap like fan chatter box done by normal people shot at random everyday locations, most probably where people see cricket, and features plenty of vibrant expressions and famous people or cultural references symbolising the spirit of India as a whole during IPL. Also, the song mainly describes the fast chatters masses do while seeing the matches.

The lyrics of the theme song is :
( Hello Uncle…Kab tak kheencchoge?…
Ham toh kheench lengey, tumaha waala…khel paaayega? ) pointing towards Dhoni’s picture!
Ek taraf shuru na hua kirket ka khel
Aur yaha shuru bol bakar jhol jhakar
Le dhanadhan de dhanadhan dhaay dhaay pratiyogita!
Hamara toh ‘meme’ ban gaya! ( Followed by IPL TUNE )
Bakar Bakar Bak Bak Bakar
Sharma ji ka beta, seekho use!….Har saal first aata hai…har saal trophy..
Pitaji….Sharma ji ka beta sirf ODD saal mein trophy laata hai ( pointing towards Rohit Sharma)
Sharma bakar… verma bakar….Narma bakar…Garma bakar..kacha bakar..pakka bakar..odd bakar..even bakar..bakar bakar..

Kyuki uske baad toh khel bolega!!!

Latest Updates
The IPL Governing Council will hold up a meeting to be sure about the the logistics and SOP for the world’s biggest T20 league. Usmani said the UAE is ready to host the event and is only awaiting the Indian government’s approval, “which should come through soon. Also, due to lockdown teams will arrive in UAE, the host for 2020 league, 4-5 weeks before for practice and safety concerns too.
The BCCI is even preparing its own medical team that will be in constant touch with the players and the staff, Though fans are waiting for the UAE government decision, as everyone is sceptical about the fact that they would experience a virtual match or in real.
Since strict measures taken by many countries, there are chances some players might not show up but BCCI is taking care about this issue also by ensuring 100 percent safety. Although, since we are destined to live with this deadly virus for some time, we should prepare ourselves well and be ready for any challenge like a pro!
