Chennai Super Kings will face Kolkata Knight Riders in the final of the Indian Premier League 2021, at the Dubai International Stadium. Both sides had failed to qualify for Playoffs last season.
History is stacked against Kolkata Knight Riders. If they win this, they will become the second side in IPL history (after Sunrisers Hyderabad, in 2016) to have won the championship despite not finishing in the top two in the league stage.
There's still no confirmation from the Kolkata camp over Andre Russell's availability. If he is fit, Shakib Al Hasan is likely to have to make way for him.
This is going to be their ninth IPL final for Chennai, who have lost five matches this season after batting first. Eyes will be on Ruturaj Gaikwad, who needs just 23 runs to surpass K.L. Rahul's tally and become the Orange Cap holder.
Betway Fantasy Tips
- Varun Chakravarthy and Dwayne Bravo are must-haves for the XI.
