IPL 2021: BCCI confirms crowd will be allowed in venues

The second leg on IPL 2021 is set to start from 19th September. The preparations are going in full force as BCCI and UAE government working hard to make it another successful IPL. However, the allowance of crowds in the stadium was a question for both the fans and BCCI. Earlier UAE government had stated that 60% of vaccinated crowds will be allowed into the stadium for the second leg of IPL 2021.

Since 2019, BCCI was forced to host the Indian Premier League without the crowd due to covid situations. This will be the first time when in two years crowds will be allowed into the stadiums.

"This match will be a momentous occasion as IPL will welcome the fans back to the stadiums after a brief hiatus owing to the Covid-19 situation," BCCI statement read today. However, they have confirmed that there will be limitations in seats due to covid guidelines.
