As a couple of months’ wait, IPL 2021 will see MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings (CSK) fight out against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai. Both CSK and KKR have beaten Delhi Capitals (DC) to make it to the title clash.
With 11 runs needed off 21 balls to win, KKR made a mess of themselves to take the equation to 6 off the last two balls, before a Rahul Tripathi six took them over the line. The Knight Riders’ middle-order was put to test and they faltered once again with skipper Eoin Morgan, Dinesh Karthik, Shakib Al Hasan, and Sunil Narine all getting out for ducks.

KKR will have to address a lot of questions ahead of the all-important final against CSK. Andre Russell is said to have been bowling on the sidelines before the second qualifier on Wednesday and could be in the mix for the final. If he is available for selection, it will be a massive booster for KKR.
On the other hand, CSK have scripted a complete turnaround this season, being the first team to make it to the playoffs. MS Dhoni’s late flourish against Delhi to win the match in the Qualifier 1 brought back a lot of memories.
CSK boast a far superior IPL final experience, but KKR have never lost one. The Yellow Brigade will play out of their skins to give MS Dhoni, who is likely playing his last IPL season, a superlative finish.
