MI IPL 2021 Time Table: Mumbai Indians Full Schedule, Dates, Timings, Venues

Bengaluru, March 7: The five-time champions Mumbai Indians will start their Indian Premier League title defence home away from home in Chennai against Royal Challengers Bangalore on the opening day of IPL 2021 - April 9.

After nearly two years, the IPL will return home after the COVID-19 pandemic forced IPL 2020 to be moved to the UAE. But the event will be held only in six cities - Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata - with no team having a home advantage.

So, Mumbai begin their campaign against RCB in Chennai and will end their league stage matches at Kolkata against Delhi Capitals on May 23.

The reigning champs will play the league phase in four venues - Chennai, Bangalore, Kolkata and Delhi. While they play 11 matches in the night, MI will play three matches in the afternoon.
