A little over four-and-a-half months since the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 season was suspended owing to the COVID-19 second wave in India, the season is set to resume on Sunday, this time in the UAE.
The Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians (MI), record five-time winners of the Tournament and Champions in the last two editions, will take on M.S. Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on the opening day of the UAE leg at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. When the season had been suspended in May, CSK were second in the IPL points table with 10 points from 7 games while the title holders were a couple of points behind in fourth.
