File is created as MyApplication-{Date}20200127.log

I think you're getting this sink mixed up with the deprecated serilog-sinks-rollingfile sink.

While serilog-sinks-rollingfile supported replacing the {Date} token with the actual date, this is no longer required with this sink - instead, if you configure rolling based on date, the date will automatically be added to the end of the filename.

But what if we want the date located somewhere other than the end of the filename ? And what if we want date formatted differently than yyyymmdd ?

That's not supported OOTB, but I think you could achieve it with FileLifecycleHooks
