IPL 2021 kicked off on 9 April 2021 in India amid much speculation, expectations, and hope. With the Covid-19 pandemic all around us, many were not even sure if a single ball of IPL would be played this year.

The 1st match of IPL 2021, season 14:

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) played the Mumbai Indians (MI) in Chennai and won by 2 wickets.

In total 29 matches were played before it was decided to postpone the remaining 31 matches of the 2021 Vivo IPL. The UAE will now host the second part of the IPL over 27 days from September 19 onwards. We have the full schedule for you further down the article so don’t miss it.

At the time the games were suspended, the Delhi Capitals (DC) were leading the table with 12 points having won 6 out of their 8 matches, followed by Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) with 10 points each.

However, this does not mean that Rishabh Pant’s side will win this prestigious competition. Who will win IPL 2021, then? We will know the winner after Phase 2 of the IPL is completed on Friday, October 15, 2021, in Dubai.

Team Delhi Capitals

When the tournament continues, there will be 27 matches between the teams followed by Qualifier 1, Eliminator, Qualifier 2, and the Final. The games will be held across three locations in Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, and Dubai.

The BCCI believes that since only a few teams will reach the IPL knockouts, some cricketers who are out of IPL 2021 will be able to join the India team for the ICC T20 World Cup preparations. The IPL will be the perfect platform to warm up and hence India is among the favourites to win the World Cup this year.

Now let’s take a look at the IPL 2021 schedule. Cricket fans are looking forward to having a thrilling and exciting experience, especially during these pandemic times.
