Faf Du Plessis, Dwayne Bravo and Imran Tahir all participated in the recently concluded Caribbean Premier League (CPL 2021) and hence will undergo only two-day isolation before joining the CSK bubble. “3x the Excitement Fafulous Champion Express,” CSK tweeted.

IPL 2021: In what is a major blow to MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings, Faf du Plessis is almost certain to miss the IPL opener. He sustained a groin injury while playing for Saint Lucia Kings in CPL 2021. The in-form South African batsmen missed the last three matches for the franchise on a trot, including the CPL Final. According to the information coming in from CSK camp, though CSK management is still hoping that Faf du Plessis will be available for the 1st match – but at the same time, Robin Uthappa has been asked to get ready for his CSK debut.
IPL 2021: The 14th season, which was postponed in May this year in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, will resume on Sunday in Dubai with a blockbuster clash between Chennai Super Kings and defending champions Mumbai Indians.
After the CSK-MI clash, the action will then shift to Abu Dhabi where KKR will square off against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
IPL 2021: Sharjah will host its first game on September 24 when Royal Challengers Bangalore take on Chennai Super Kings. In all, 13 matches will be held in Dubai, 10 in Sharjah, and 8 in Abu Dhabi.
