The UAE welcomed the Indian Premier League (IPL) with open arms during these unprecedented times and defending champions the Mumbai Indians are grateful to the country for providing the world's most popular cricket league the opportunity.
The raging Covid-19 pandemic in India had meant that this season's running of the league had looked bleak.
But, the UAE, which had been leading from the forefront, right from the beginning, in the fight against the pandemic, gave the IPL more than a glimmer of hope.
Now that it is a reality and as the days near for this season's opener between the Mumbai Indians and the Chennai Super Kings at the Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi, some of the Mumbai Indians players expressed their gratitude to the UAE and the excellent health and safety protocols that have been put in place by the authorities here.
"You've got to respect this country, UAE, for allowing our league to be happening here in this current world scenario," said wicketkeeper-batsman Aditya Tare.

Masks ?? Social distancing ??"So, I think we have accepted and realised the masks, the social distancing. Everyone's doing the right thing. Personally, obviously coming from Perth and we don't have any restrictions there. So, just trying to get used to those sorts of things. Get used to wearing a mask, get used to keeping my distance. We are under some pretty strict conditions but at least we are outdoors, training, a bit of fresh air, getting the body moving again. It's been really good," he added.
