IPL 2021 was initially postponed indefinitely after just 29 matches in May due to the second wave of Covid-19 in India.

But the Indian cricket board (BCCI) was able to find out a window to slot in the remaining 31 games to complete the season and thus, decided to take the tournament to the UAE where it will be played from September 19 to October 15 in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Oman.

CSK were at the 2nd spot of the 8-team IPL 2021 points table with 7 wins in 10 matches before the season was suspended. With a strong all-round unit at their disposal, the Chennai-based franchise will look to make a mark and reach the play-offs in the UAE.
