The IPL 2021 had to be suspended in May 2021 due to the outbreak of COVID-19 in the franchise’s bio-bubbles as India was facing the second wave of COVID pandemic in April-May. Four players, multiple support staff, and other personnel were also infected with this deadly virus, which led the BCCI and IPL governing council to postponed the 14^th edition of the tournament.

Later, the BCCI moved the tournament to the UAE, which had successfully hosted the IPL 2020 6 months earlier and there is also the possibility of crowds attending the matches as well.
