The IPL 2021 season had to be suspended for an indefinite period of time after the COVID-19 pandemic breached the teams’ bio-bubbles putting paid to the BCCI‘s hopes of pulling off the tournament in a caravan format. The first half of the season had ended successfully without any issue, but as soon as cases started cropping inside the bubbles, more and more started to arise leaving the board no choice.

Chennai Super Kings batsman Suresh Raina had pulled out of IPL 2020 owing to personal reasons. Reports suggested that an attack on his close relatives led to him take the decision. On the other hand, rumors suggested that Raina returned to India from the UAE because he was not given a room with a balcony by the CSK management. As the tournament moves back to the UAE, fans could help but take a dig at Raina.
