IPL 2021 New Schedule, Venue, Dates, Points, Match Table

The Indian Premier League is coming back after the break due to the COVID-19 outbreak. It is among the most popular cricket leagues worldwide. And now, the IPL is all set to begin its UAE leg from September 2021. With more than 100 million viewership, the IPL attracts more people than any other sports event in the country. Moreover, it is also broadcasted live in over 10 countries. In the second leg, the matches will be played in the course of four weeks.

Just like every other IPL edition, this season also brings some great national and international players. And we will also be seeing some players showing off their talents on the field for the first time. However, many popular names such as Pat Cummins, Jofra Archer, and Ben Strokes have opted out of the tournament. Considering that the ICC T20 World Cup is soon to follow, it is only valid that many international players are opting out.

The UAE leg will kick off with a match between Chennai Super Kings and defending champions Mumbai Indians. The match will be held at the Dubai International Stadium located in Dubai.
