Notably, one of the most successful IPL teams, CSK failed to reach the playoffs last year for the first time in the tournament's history and Dhoni himself was poor with bat. However, CSK were second on the points table before IPL 2021 got suspended and they will aim to continue the good show when the cash-rich league resumes.

IPL 2021, which was postponed in May this year in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, will resume on September 19 in Dubai with a blockbuster clash between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians. The action will then shift to Abu Dhabi where Kolkata Knight Riders will square off against Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Sharjah will host its first game on September 24 when Royal Challengers Bangalore take on Chennai Super Kings. In all, 13 matches will be held in Dubai, 10 in Sharjah, and 8 in Abu Dhabi.
