Both the IPL 2021 on October 8 are being played concurrently for the first time in the history of the competition.
Currently, Chris Gayle is preparing for the upcoming Caribbean Premier League that is starting from August 26, where he will be representing St Kitts and Nevis Patriots.
On May 29, BCCI had informed that the remainder of IPL 2021 will take place in UAE.
After 29 matches were already conducted in the first half of the tournament in India, as many as 31 matches are remaining in IPL 2021.
However, it has been learned that the franchises will now have to ask for special permissions in order to travel to the Gulf country.
It was earlier announced by the BCCI that the tournament had been shifted to the United Arab Emirates but the dates were yet to be zeroed in.
Notably, Iyer was appointed the captain in 2018 after Gautam Gambhir stepped down midway through the season.
The remaining matches of IPL 2021 are likely to be held in UAE in the September-October window.
The tournament was suspended due to COVID-19 outbreak in India, with only 31 matches conducted.
In another testimony to the massive following that this game receives, the CSK vs MI match of IPL 2021, which happened on May 1 has become the most-watched mid-season game ever.
