admin_criclife
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.
Meanwhile, let’s take a look at the 2021 IPL match list, schedule, team, venue, timetable, and points table!
p>Due to the uncontrolled increase of Covid-19 cases in India, the 2021 Indian Premier League was postponed to a later date. Originally, the tournament was scheduled between 9 April 2021 and 30 May 2021. However, on 4 May 2021, the Covid situation in the country went out of hand. 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.
Upcoming IPL Match List: Latest Schedule
The remaining 31 matches of the tournament will be played between 19 September 2021 and 15 October 2021. Phase 2 will see some nail-biting thrillers as teams are fully prepared and excited to go out and play. Teams have already arrived in the UAE and are in quarantine before the players are allowed to practice. However, the majority of Indian players, including Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, among others will join their respective teams after 14 September 2021 as the Indian team is currently in England for a 5-match test series.

There are four venues assigned for the resumption of IPL 2021. Each stadium matches the international cricket standards and will provide both players and spectators with a vibrant experience.
