I want to retrieve value from 2020-04-20(todays date) column of 3rd row from the above.This is the result of 
print(data.columns)    

I tried using get_value and .at.It didnt work
print(data.columns)
for i in data.columns:
    convert_date=i.date()#converting to date type
    if date.today()==convert_date:#comparing todays date
        print(date.today())
        print(data.at[3,date.today()])#throws KeyError: datetime.date(2020, 4, 20)

A:

You need to convert your index into datetime object. Currently its string. you can change index into datetime :
df.index = pd.to_datetime(df.index)

After that it should work.
