CSK vs KOL Dream11 Team - IPL 2021 FINAL | 15 Oct

Chennai Super Kings may have the oldest average age in the tournament but they’re also the most experienced of the lot. They ended the IPL 2021 group stage with three consecutive losses but after finishing #2 on the IPL 2021 points table, they were able to win the Qualifier 1 and book a berth straight into the final. Let us remind you, they’ve been here quite a few times in the past and have lifted the IPL trophy thrice before as well.

They’re up against a team that had 2 wins in 7 games in the India leg of IPL 2021 and then turned things around with 7 wins in 9 games in the UAE leg. That’s Kolkata Knight Riders who have beaten RCB and DC in the IPL 2021 layoffs so far, making their third IPL final. Remember, they have made two finals in the past and won both!

Stats that matter

Head to head in last 5 games, Chennai leads 4-1.
In the IPL 2021 round robin, Chennai won both games.
Eoin Morgan – 37 runs in 9 games in IPL 2021 in UAE.

Chennai Super Kings

Both openers in Ruturaj Gaikwad and Faf du Plessis have registered 500+ runs in the season which has been great for CSK, as there’s always a good foundation being laid. And just as they were struggling in the middle order, Robin Uthappa came to life after two failures, with a clean and impressive 63 in Qualifier 1. A game before that, Ambati Rayudu also hit a sweet spot with his first fifty in UAE and the batting looks real solid now.

It’s likely that CSK go in with an unchanged side as they’ve always believed in that. It means Dwayne Bravo will continue to be in the side though he’s not had a great contribution as yet. He has batted only once in their last 5 games and has only 2 wickets in the last 3, but he may be used differently in the IPL 2021 final. Shardul Thakur is a must have in your CSK vs KOL Dream11 team as he’s got the golden arm and is a floater in the batting order as well, as demonstrated by MSD once before.

Kolkata Knight Riders

KKR is also likely to play the same team. The only dilemma they have is between Shakib Al Hasan and Andre Russell, if the latter is fit. Shakib had to obtain a special permission from BCB and is likely to play today, so pick him in your My11Circle (Get Rs.500 FREE*) CSK vs KOL fantasy team since he’s won the title with them twice before. Spin doesn’t have as much as a role at Dubai, so maybe Sunil Narine is someone worth dropping.

Michael Vaughan tweeted that it’s very likely Eoin Morgan drops himself for the final but his experience will count for sure. If he does that, Tim Seifert is the likely replacement. Rahul Tripathi is high on confidence after the six he hit to qualify for the final and he’s a sure pick in my CSK vs KOL fantasy team as well. With the ball, Kiwi pacer Lockie Ferguson managed wickets on a slow Sharjah pitch which means he’ll enjoy this even more.
