IPL 2021: Teams like RCB and CSK need the momentum they had to restart campaign, says Parthiv Patel

Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings had made a great start to IPL 2021, winning 5 games each, but Parthiv Patel feels both teams will be suffering from nerves as the tournament restarts in the UAE from September 19.

Former India wicketkeeper Parthiv Patel reckons Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings will have early nerves going into the second phase of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 in the United Arab Emirates this month. Both RCB and CSK had made a great start to this season, winning 5 games each out of the 7 played before IPL 2021 got postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic in India. MS Dhoni's CSK ended the first half in second place while Virat Kohli's RCB are third on the points table.
