Defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) will have a face-off with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the season-opener on April 9. The first game of IPL 2021 will be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
All the matches will take place behind closed doors in six cities – Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai y Kolkata – amid strict COVID-19 protocols.
IPL 2020 was conducted in the UAE last year, where the league and knockout games were played across three venues due to the pandemic, but the T20 extravaganza will be making a return to India this year.
