Chennai: Amid the serious threat on the raging second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 14th edition of the cash rich Indian Premier League (IPL) will kick off at the Chepauk Stadium (M. A. Chidambaram Stadium) here today behind closed doors when defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) take on constant under achievers Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
While MI skipper Rohit Sharma, eyeing for a record sixth title and a hat-trick of title triumphs, is keen to start on a rousing note, the Virat Kohli-led RCB is determined to break the shackles and should consistently come out with an all round display in a bid to lay its hand on maiden title on May 30.
