Kolkata Knight Riders won the toss and elected to field and it was a great decision because Chennai Super Kings are good at chasing but the way in which Chennai Super Kings is batting they will be scoring well above 180 runs and if that is the case how is KKR going to chase that considering how they struggled in the last match chasing a small total. Not sure how their middle order will perform in the final but if they need to be competitive they need to play really well.
Kolkata done good decision after winning toss, but CSK is also really on target after having batting first their opener's give them some good start Gaikwad and Uthapa were not bad at all but today du Plessis and Moeen Ali both was on fire in death overs which help their team CSK for having one of the best performance for this final.

This is massive target for Kolkata which is already struggling in batting after having this first inning performance from CSK now I am feeling they are champions of this season but still we have 20 more overs to go for final decision hopefully we will have some very interesting end of this season.

I am really excited to see the Kolkata Knight Riders, the team of Shah Rukh Khan, to reach the final of IPL. Chennai Super Kings is a very good team but i will support the Kolkata Knight Riders to come up strong on the final day and win the tournament. It will be a tough match even though Chennai Super Kings look strong on papers.

Which is your favorite team in today's match? Which team are you interested in betting on to win? I want to choose the Kolkata team today. Because the performance of Kolkata's past few matches is much better than Chennai's. Chennai has won just one of their last four matches, that match was against Delhi. They had lost the previous 3 matches. Kolkata, on the other hand, has won all their last four matches. Their performance as a team is very excellent.
I am not sure how Kolkata Knight Riders will perform as well as Chennai Super Kings because they are inconsistent in their performance but i still think Chennai Super Kings are good at chasing because they have MSD who could someone take the game till the last over and impose his mastermind.
The way in which Kolkata Knight Riders struggled in the semi final when they could have won the match easily will be worrying for them.

Really this was one of the best game of this season and surely few can face heart attack as this was going into end but still very good from Kolkatta as they came from behind and now joins CSK in grand finale for this season after very long time.
Kolkata Knight Riders reached the final but they struggled really bad on crossing the line and i am expecting Chennai Super Kings to win the tournament once more and it depends upon who is going to win the toss and if Chennai Super Kings are chasing then i am sure they will win the match easily.

The Kolkata Knight Riders need to improve their middle order if they want to stand a chance and i hope it will be a good battle rather than a one sided affair.

Kolkata is surely struggling in middle order but still they reach into final after having 4 out of 4 wins in their last matches which is big achievement because they beat some quality teams like RCB, Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals which is good performance from them in this format we can't predict until we have last balled because as we all know cricket by chance.

On papers CSK is very strong team which can destroy any team but on their day they can lose matches like rubbish which happen in last few matches, so I am feeling still it's anybody game. With very entertaining end of this season which was really long just because of Covid-19.

CSK are the favourites but you cannot let go of the performance of KKR. I do agree they struggled to reach that spot but they are simply unpredictable and in T20 format anything can happen. There are a few players in KKR like Venkatesh Iyer and  Varun Chakravarthy who have shown consistency and in the end, you cannot forget Sunil Narain. This will be an interesting final to watch that I am sure.

KKR is the same team that lost 6 wickets while scoring 7 runs against Delhi Capitals. Their middle order is really weak and they are heavily dependent on the openers (Venkatesh Iyer / Shubman Gill). The no.3 batsman (Rahul Tripathi) has scored some runs, but apart from him the other batsmen are useless (including the captain Eoin Morgan). But the same can be said about the CSK as well, and their openers have scored the majority of the runs. So the final is going to be between two teams that are heavily dependent on the openers.

What a match that was between KKR and Delhi capitals, just 13 needed in 25 balls with 9 wickets in hand and then 2 needed of 6 balls.
And hitting that 6, kkr would be very relieved as they almost let this go out from their grasp after reaching a winning position. But have to say good last over by Ashwin.
What a finish!
It is for this reason that cricket is an uncertain game. An impressive comeback by KKR in the second half of the match. The youngsters made their mark in this one. There was always concern over the middle order. You know what that means, KKR makes the finals. Fans have been waiting for this since 2014. Let's watch for KKR vs CSK! Anyway, thank you KKR for almost giving us a heart attack...

Their middle order is still concern for them even I was not feeling in this way because their lower order is in good shape but under pressure they all gone like crap which is matter of concern, but now they have no time for having any planning about this just prepare and go for best in final on Friday. Where big CSK is waiting for them, I am hoping for good performance from Kolkatta as they are good fighters.

The match was completely under the control of Kolkata. At first the target was very small. The second was the remarkable partnership of the first two batsmen which made it easier for Kolkata to win the match. But the over of Rabada, Ashwin and Nortje towards the end was very impressive. In the last over, it was feared that Kolkata might lose. But they won.

BS!

If not for the last ball six from Rahul Tripathi, Delhi Capitals would have gone to the finals. To win they required 6 runs from 2 balls and Ravichandran Ashwin bowled a very poor delivery to Tripathi. The match was firmly in Delhi's control from overs 17 to 19.4. Once Venkatesh Iyer and Shubman Gill got out, none of the other batsmen could make sizable contributions. All Ashwin had to do was to prevent Tripathi from hitting a six and he failed in doing that (none of the other DC bowlers had any overs remaining in their 4-over quota).

The biggest gambling event will on 24 Oct 2021 i.e. Pak vs India.

We always have a lot of discussions about Pakistan vs India matches. Hope to see a competitive match. But most of the time the outcome of the match goes to India. From 2012 to 2019, the two teams have met a total of 12 times. Out of these 12 grounds, India has won 8 matches and Pakshithan has won only 4 matches. Moreover, India has won the last 4 matches between these two teams. These were the ODI match statistics. The two teams have met six times since 2012 in the T20 format. India has won 5 of them.

T20I world-cup is about to begin in few days. Its really sad to see team like Sri lanka (a great cricketing side) playing qualifying rounds. But I am very sure they will made it to the main stage. While Afghanistan has made it straight to the world-cup, a good sign for there future cricket. 
To me only big 3 and there ally CNZ are strong contestant to win this cup, other then that only teams that can have some impact are WI and Pakistan.

There is a lot chance for CSK if it scores more than 160 plus by batting up first as KKR has strong bowlers. If KKR has chance to choose the batting first, then need to take off the opening batsmen Venaktes Iyer and Shubman Grill. They really showed off their best today with best score each today. CSK has good line up of batting. However, Dhoni has to plan to bring in best bowlers. Dhoni is well experience in dealing with such situation. So lets hope for the best.
CSK can do this score but after checking last two matches now I am feeling Kolkata is not easy team for anyone right now they have done stunning job and never allow their opponents to give them good target it's really great from their bowling line up Shakib, Mavi, Narain and Ferguson making this all great for their team.

Now we are heading for big final in Dubai where 160 is also not good target as last few matches all teams chase this target very successfully so if CSK going to first inning then surely they need minimum 200 runs and if they are going for bowling then they need some good and spirited bowling from their front liner bowlers.

Pant is no where close to other players when talking about captaincy of National team. He only got DC's captaincy because Iyer got injured and Ashwin- Dhawan due are oldies. Also Ashwin was new edition to the Delhi's squad. Prithvi was better candidate for the captaincy but he's not regular player of Indian squad and has no brand value when comparing to Pant. So Pant was obvious choice.

When it comes to national side KL Rahul is considered future captain after Rohit-Virat. If by any chance Shreyas, Prithvi and Gill cement their position in limited overs squad then they are also strong candidate (specially Shreyas).

I was talking about a scenario which is likely to occur after 3-4 years (after the retirement of Virat). I assume that by then Pant will have much better chances when compared to any of the other players (Rahul, Shreyas and Shaw). Only Pant has his spot assured in the playing XI, and even for Rahul it is not 100% guaranteed. And there is not much competition as well, since the other options (Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan.etc) have failed to make their mark even after repeated opportunities handed out to them.
He might emerge as a competitor in near future but BCCI is very consistent in their approach when appointing captain. They like longevity, they always back their skipper despite some failure and avoid changing captain like clothes. Which is very admirable quality imo. So if by any chance frontrunners "Rahul, Shryas" gets chance to lead the team then it would tough for Pant for the very same reason i mentioned.

My reading is that for very short term Rohit is going to lead the national team similar to Dravid and then they will hunt for new captain.

There was nothing to predict I had a hunch that KKR will defeat DC. The way they have performed in the last two matches I somehow feel they might win this season of IPL. I might be over confident here but anything is possible in T20 format as you said. The finals will be interesting to watch.

It is a shame that DC is not playing in the finals, because they had the best team balance. Also, this is a personal setback for Rishabh Pant, who is being regarded as one of the players who are likely to replace Virat Kohli as the Indian captain in the future. If DC had won the trophy this time, then he could have been in a better position. Now he faces increased competition within his own franchise (Shreyas Iyer). Still, it was a very close match. KKR slumped from 123/2 to 130/7 in almost no time.
