IPL 2021 Schedule, Team, Venue, Time Table, Points Table

The Indian Premier League is back! One of the most popular cricket leagues in the world, IPL is set to commence its second leg on September 19, 2021. With a viewership of over 100 million, it reaches more people than any other sports event in India and has been broadcasted live in over 10 countries. It will be played over a period of 4 weeks in the UAE. This year’s edition brings together players from all across the world – including several international superstars. Some are gearing up for their first-ever season. However, many popular names like Jos Buttler, Ben Stokes, Jofra Archer, and Pat Cummins, among others, have retrieved their names from the second leg of the tournament due to personal reasons. Given that the ICC T20 World Cup is around the corner, it seems valid that many international players are opting out of the tournament.

The second leg kicks off with defending champions Mumbai Indians taking on Chennai Super Kings at Dubai International Stadium in Dubai, and it promises to be an exciting start to what appears to be an action-packed season. So, get your tickets now, and don’t miss out on this opportunity! Visit cric-life.com for more information.

With the increased number of Covid-19 victims, the Indian cricket board (BCCI) decided to postpone this year’s IPL season. The new schedule was announced about a month later, on 7 June 2021, with BCCI confirming that the second leg of the tournament will take place in the United Arab Emirates from 19 September 2021.
