The 14th season of the Indian Premier League is all set to commence as defending champions Mumbai Indians will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore in the season opener in Chennai.
With the biggest T20 league returning to India, bountiful arrangements have been made to conduct it amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. The biggest cricket-related impact of the same would be that no team will be playing a league match at their home ground to ensure minimal travel.
Host broadcaster Star Network, which had organized a novel bio-secure bubble for its team in Mumbai during IPL 2020, has now arranged similar arrangements across six venues as IPL 2021 will be played in different parts of the country unlike the last season which was played in the UAE.
