The 14th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2021) which was held in India earlier this year, was suspended indefinitely owing to COVID-19 breaching bio-bubbles of different franchises.
But with IPL 2021 resuming in UAE from September 19, and Mumbai Indians (MI) taking on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the tournament opener in the Middle East, there has been a buzz about this tournament amongst fans and cricket experts.
The former New Zealand all-rounder Scott Styris is one of them as he took to Twitter and revealed the power rankings as to how the points table might look like in this edition of IPL. The Kiwi picked defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) in the first place.

Following the Mumbai-based franchise, Styris picked Delhi Capitals (DC) and on third are former champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The commentator then listed rest of the teams as follows, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Punjab Kings (PBKS), Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Rajasthan Royals (RR).
Have a look at Scott Styris’ Tweet:

Thoughts?
The Rajasthan-based franchise was not happy with the New Zealander keeping the winners of inaugural edition of IPL at the last spot and thus RR took to Twitter and responded to Styris with a cheeky reply.
The Royals used a meme featuring Bollywood actress Sara Ali Khan saying a dialogue, “Tum mujhe tang karne lage ho,” from her movie ‘Love Aaj Kal.’
