Hyderabad: The 'Men in Blue' have embarked on their quest to bring the ICC T20 World Cup Trophy home next year, beginning with the home season of cricket on Star Sports with South Africa tour of India that started on September 15th.
Mission 2020 by Star Sports will showcase all India matches as they prepare for the ultimate championship in Australia, 13 months from now, where they will fight their hardest to bring the ICC T20 World Cup trophy home which they last won 13 years ago.

Hungry for his first ICC T20 Championship and apart from looking to break his personal jinx of not scoring a century in a T20 Internationals, captain Virat Kohli will be looking to find the best balance in terms of selecting the best opening combination, pace attack, spinners and all-rounders to face the challenge that will come from some of the world's best T20 teams.
With Dhoni not being a part of the squad, all eyes will be on Rishabh Pant to fill the shoes of one of India's most successful and admired wicket-keeper batsman.
Fans of the 'Men in Blue' will also look forward to Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma strengthening their already solid opening combination as the preferred pair for I the upcoming series.
Each series preceding the World Cup will be a stepping-stone to build the pool of the fifteen best players that Team India will select for the 2020 ICC T20 World Cup.
The road to Mission 2020 will provide opportunities to
newer players like Navdeep Saini, Deepak Chahar, Rishabh Pant, Krunal Pandya, Shreyas Iyer, among others to test their mettle and cement their position in the squad for the ICC T20 World Cup.
