IPL 2021: The second leg of the IPL will be played in the UAE from September 19. Before this, there is good news for the fans of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). KKR’s prolific batsman Shubman is expected to be fit by the time the second phase of the IPL begins. According to the report of a sports website, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has received information that Shubman has been in rehab at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru for two weeks and he will be released before the IPL.
KKR CEO Venky Mysore said, “We are hopeful that Shubman will be available for the IPL. If Shubman returns to IPL, then Kolkata’s team will get a lot of strength. Shubman Gill played well in the last IPL. However, he was injured in the past and due to this he returned from the tour of England.
Shubman was at home after returning from England and started working out at the NCA from the beginning of this month. A source said, “Shubman is not feeling pain. Gradually his workload is increasing and he is also jogging two-three days a week. We are sure he will be fit before IPL.

KKR is planning to leave for Abu Dhabi on August 27. Shubman may not be ready to go with the team this month, but he may join the team in the first week of September. The second phase of IPL will start from September 19. Teams from Chennai and Mumbai have reached UAE for IPL. Gradually the teams are leaving for the UAE.
Last Tuesday, the BCCI had indicated that spectators may be allowed into the stadium in the second leg of the IPL in the UAE. Earlier, the Emirates Cricket Board has also asked 60 percent of the audience to discuss the IPL. If both are to be believed, then the spectators will be able to enjoy IPL matches by going to the stadium.
