From Sunday, the Indian Premier League 2021 is set to get the ball rolling again in the United Arab Emirates. The defending champion Mumbai Indians would face off against former champion Chennai Super Kings at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
The players from the sides have been preparing hard for the past three weeks. CSK was the first side to arrive in the gulf and begin its preparations. As other teams followed, the Team India players have had less time to prepare due to their Test commitments in England. However, the cancellation of the fifth Test led to somewhat preponing their preparations.
Nevertheless, both sides have had some intense training sessions with their players, as they have sweated it out to the fullest, raring to restart things again, from right where they left off. On the same note, we take a look at some of their preparations through pictures and videos.
