CSK vs KKR IPL 2021 Finals: Who Will Be Champion Of IPL 2021

CSK vs KKR IPL 2021 Finals: CSK’s charismatic captain Dhoni in front of KKR, who will be the champion of this season.

The charismatic captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni will prove to be the defense of  CSK when they face the spin trio Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the final on Friday in the IPL title match.

CSK has played IPL every time under Dhoni’s captaincy and has become champion thrice.

In such a situation, cricket lovers around the world will also be waiting for the fiery innings of Captain Cool on the day of Dussehra, which may be seen for the last time in the yellow jersey.

No team knows the art of reaching the final better than CSK. On the other hand, KKR has won both titles under the captaincy of Gautam Gambhir.

CSK’s chances of winning a fourth title depend on how they face KKR’s spin trio Varun Chakravarthy, Shakib Al Hasan, and Sunil Narine.

All three have conceded runs at an average of less than seven per over in the tournament.

Shakib’s all-around performance has been giving KKR balance with Andre Russell being ruled out due to a hamstring injury.

Although the final match has its own pressures and if there is a captain like Dhoni in front, it will not be easy for these three to repeat this performance.

CSK vs KKR IPL 2021 Finals: Dhoni’s simple mantra is to rely on experience.

He guided Ruturaj Gaikwad when the pressure of qualification in 2020 was not on him. Ruturaj has scored more than 600 runs this season including three half-centuries.

On the strength of his leadership ability, Dhoni has strengthened the foundation of the team not only for the next year but for many years to come.

It will not be a surprise if Ruturaj becomes the next captain of CSK, as Dhoni may announce his retirement from IPL next year or later.

No one can understand IPL better than Dhoni. This is the reason why his team has been performing consistently well.

CSK, who became the first team to be eliminated from the league stage last year, made a memorable comeback and became the first team to reach the final this time.

He has no shortage of experience. Dhoni has crossed the age of 40, while Dwayne Bravo is 38, Faf du Plessis 37, Ambati Rayudu, and Robin Uthappa are 36.

Moeen Ali and Ravindra Jadeja are also 30 par. Dhoni has mastered the art of using his resources properly.

This season, everyone saw that Dhoni’s favorite and IPL legend Suresh Raina also had to sit out of the team.

Struggling with increased weight and poor form, Raina was replaced by Uthappa and was the architect of the team’s victory against Delhi.

KKR on the other hand has a World Cup-winning captain, who has transformed the England team in limited-overs cricket.

Many believed that Russell should be handed over the captaincy in place of Morgan, but Morgan was trusted by the team management.

He continued to open the innings from Shubman Gill and eventually, runs came off Gill’s bat. The trust reposed in Venkatesh Iyer has also benefited the team.

Morgan also does not express emotion like Dhoni, so in such a situation, the understanding of cricket of both the captains will also be a match.
