IPL 2021: Playing in UAE is going to be an advantage for Mumbai Indians, says Gautam Gambhir

Defending champions Mumbai Indians will kick start IPL 2021 with three-time champions Chennai Super Kings at the Dubai International Stadium on September 19.

Former India cricketer Gautam Gambhir feels Mumbai Indians will have an advantage playing in the United Arab Emirates when the second phase of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 season begins from September 19. Gambhir reckons the conditions in the UAE will suit MI's fast bowlers unlike some of the grounds in India where the pitches are low and slow.
