IPL 2021: Hopefully We Can Repeat What We Did Here Last Year: Kieron Pollard On Mumbai Indians Aim To Win

IPL 2021 is all set to resume with defending champions Mumbai Indians taking on rivals Chennai Super Kings in the first game of the second leg in Dubai.

In early May, the cash-rich league was immediately suspended after the number of COVID-19 cases surged in India. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shited the tournament in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the September-October window.

In the first leg of IPL 2021 in India, 29 matches were completed with 27 league games yet to be played followed by the knockout stage.
