India's vice-captain Rohit Sharma wants to play both, IPL and T20 World Cup tournaments this year, although there is a high possibility of only one taking place by the end of 2020.

IPL's scheduled date was pushed because of the COVID-19 pandemic and there is doubt on T20 World Cup as ICC will take the call in association with the host nation Australia's government.
