Vivo IPL 2021: 3 Cricketers who will benefit from UAE surface in the Vivo IPL 2021:
Yuzvendra Chahal:
Yuzvendra Chahal had a horrible outing in the first half of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021. The premier RCB spinner managed to deceive just four players with his spin web and was smacked with an economy of 8.26.
Chahal struggled to find a right line and length for him which resulted in him scalping just four wickets in seven appearances.
With the leggie getting back in shape during the ongoing India tour of Sri Lanka, Chahal will feel safe with IPL 2021 getting shifted to the UAE.
The surface in the middle-east nation will assist his type of bowling. Barring Sharjah, which is reckoned as the batsman paradise due to its short boundaries, Abu Dhabi and Dubai will help Chahal’s bowling style.
It is noteworthy, RCB spinner Yuzvendra Chahal was the leading wicket fetcher for RCB with 21 wickets in 15 outings in UAE.

Rahul Chahar:
Mumbai Indians (MI) leggie Rahul Chahar is also on the list of players getting benefits from the UAE surfaces.
The young leggie showed promising signs consistently in the last few IPL appearances and owing to which he received his maiden T20I and ODI call-up.
Rahul Chahar was in fine touch during the first half of the IPL 2021, unlike Yuzvendra Chahal. The spinner provided 11 breakthroughs in seven matches in the first half.
He will look to continue his golden run in the IPL and pick up more wickets taking leverage of the UAE tweak friendly conditions.
Talking about his last year’s IPL stats, Chahar scalped 15 wickets in as many appearances.
David Warner:
The Australian opener and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) batsman David Warner saw an unforgettable outing in the first phase of the IPL 2021.
The dashing cricketer failed to score runs for his team which really doesn’t suit players of his calibre.
Making the outing more forgetful, SRH management sacked him from the leadership role and was eventually dropped from playing XI as well.
Warner managed to amass 193 runs in six matches for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).
The Aussie cricketer plundered a staggering 548 runs in IPL 2020 and has been consistent in the cash-rich league. He has amassed over 500 runs in consecutive six IPL seasons.
Warner loves the offering from the UAE surface and will be looking forward to making most of the second half of the IPL 2021.
