    The Indian Premier League 2021 season resumes from Sunday after it was suspended earlier in May because of COVID-19 that impacted the players. All eight teams will look to start strongly in what is a new start with half the season to go. Fans are braced for an action-packed month ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup. Here's the recap of the first phase.

    Delhi Capitals batsman Shikhar Dhawan piled up the most runs in the first phase. The southpaw scored 380 runs from eight matches at 54.28. He smashed three fifties with the best score of 92. Dhawan is followed by Punjab Kings captain KL Rahul, who amassed 331 runs from seven matches at 66.20. He hit four fifties. CSK's Faf du Plessis (320 runs) sits third.
