As the second wave of COVID-19 wreaked havoc in India during April-May, the IPL bio-bubble was also breached, forcing the suspension of the tournament after 29 matches. Last week, doubts over the resumption of IPL 2021 resurfaced with the outbreak of COVID-19 in the Indian team’s camp in England, but fortunately for the organisers, the issue did not escalate, and the players from both teams – India and England – landed in UAE safely.
Fans, albeit a limited number, will also mark their attendance at the stadium for the first time since 2019, adding immensely to the tournament’s spectacle.
Star Sports Network, which holds the rights of broadcasting and streaming IPL matches in India, have announced a celebrated anchors list for the UAE leg of the competition. Few notable names in the marquee list include the likes of Bhavna Balakrishnan, Anant Tyagi, Neroli Meadows, Tanya Purohit and many more.
