After the tournament had to be stopped midway earlier this year, the Indian Premier League is all set to be started from the 19th of September later this month. The tournament had reached only the halfway stage when it had to be suspended due to Covid cases in some camps. However, keeping in mind all the safety norms and protocols, the Tournament has now been shifted to Abu Dhabi where all the remaining games will be played.
The remainder of the tournament will start from the 19th of september and the final game of the tournament will be played on 15th October. There will be 10 double headers, 7 single-headers & then the 4 finals games that will mark the end of the tournament. The BCCI had to do a lot of hard work in making sure that the tournament gets completed even if it means taking the tournament overseas.

But Why Dubai? And that too again?
Last year too, the tournament was taken to Dubai during the first phase of the COVID break where the tournament was completed quite successfully. Abu Dhabi has all the necessary infrastructure, strict norms and since the tournament was already a success last year when the covid outbreak was even more severe than it is now, maybe BCCI thought that it’s a safer bet to host the remainder of the tournament here.
