Mumbai Indians were 4th on points table before IPL 2021 was postponed
Mumbai Indians, five-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champions, arrived in the UAE without their captain Rohit Sharma and other stars like Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav. All the three players are with Team India in England for the ongoing Test series.
The Mumbai-based franchise were fourth on the points table with eight points from seven matches when the IPL 2021 was postponed midway after several players across teams tested positive for Covid.
When the league was suspended on May 4 due to a rise in COVID-19 cases in the tournament's bio-bubble, it was just over the half-way stage, with Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings the only teams to have played eight matches, and the rest all playing seven each.
In the first match of the UAE leg of IPL 2021, the Rohit Sharma-led outfit will face off against MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings in Dubai on September 19.
