Dubai. Chennai Super Kings have won the IPL title for the fourth time. The team defeated KKR (KolKata Knight Riders) by 27 runs in the final of IPL 2021. With this, KKR’s dream of winning the title for the third time was shattered. Playing first, Chennai scored 192 runs for 3 wickets. In reply, KKR’s team could only score 165 runs for 9 wickets. Faf du Plessis scored the highest 86 runs for CSK. ‘Lucky Man’ Shardul Thakur got the team back in the match. He is being called the Lucky Man because he was not a part of the first T20 World Cup team. But later he was included in place of Akshar Patel. Now he played an important role in making CSK the champion. Here are 5 reasons for CSK’s win:
1- Chennai Super Kings got a good start in the match. Rituraj Gaikwad and Faf du Plessis added 61 runs for the first wicket in 8.1 overs. Due to this the team was successful in making big scores. Rituraj scored 32 runs off 27 balls while Faf du Plessis scored 86 runs off 59 balls. Both scored more than 600 runs in the season.
2- Even in the middle overs, CSK did not let the run rate decrease. In this, the contribution of Robin Uthappa and Moeen Ali was big. Uthappa scored 31 runs in 15 balls. The strike rate was 207. At the same time, Moeen Ali scored 37 runs in 20 balls. The strike rate was 185.
3- KKR started chasing the target well. CSK also did poor fielding, but the team did not disintegrate even after pressure. Shubman Gill and Venkatesh Iyer added 91 runs for the first wicket. After this the team had to score only about 100 runs.
4- The 11th over of KKR’s innings proved to be the turning point of the match. Fast bowler Shardul Thakur dismissed Iyer and Nitish Rana in this over. Iyer scored more than 400 runs in the season while Rana scored more than 380 runs. But Rana failed in this big match.
5- CSK tried only 5 bowlers in the match. Venkatesh Iyer hit two sixes in Ravindra Jadeja’s over. Even after this, Dhoni reposed faith in him and he also got his reward. The team also had a sixth bowler in the form of Mein Ali. Left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja took the wickets of Dinesh Karthik and Shakib in the 15th over.
