New Delhi: The Indian Premier League (IPL) is scheduled to be played in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) from September 19 against the second leg of the IPL 2021. Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) teams have reached UAE, while the Delhi Capitals (DC) team will fly to UAE on Saturday (August 21). The first leg was captained by Rishabh Pant, who directed Delhi Capitals as Shreyas Iyer was away from the cricket field at the time due to injury.

But Iyer is now fit and will be seen playing for the Delhi Capitals in the second leg of IPL 2021. Iyer's return has also added to a problem for the franchise team.
