The Indian Premier League (IPL 2021) season opener will see the defending and five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) led by Rohit Sharma, take on Virat Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on April 9 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on April 9, 2021.
The season-opening matches have been some of the most exciting encounters ever, as they set the mood for the entire IPL tournament to follow.
This precedence was set in the very first Indian Premier League match in 2008 when Royal Challengers Bangalore took on Kolkata Knight Riders and since then, we have seen some of the best season-opening matches.
The IPL 2021 season opener match is just 2 days away and today, as a preview, Team COC looks back nostalgically at all the previous season-opening matches in the IPL thus far.
