Shubman Gill and Venkatesh Iyer gave Kolkata Knight Riders a flying start in their run-chase of 193, but Chennai Super Kings clawed their way back to register a convincing 27-run win to clinch the IPL 2021 title in Dubai on Friday, October 15. It was the fourth title for the MS Dhoni led side.

Shubman Gill and Venkatesh Iyer both scored fifties, the latter playing the aggressor in a 64-ball 91 opening partnership in Kolkata Knight Riders’ run-chase of 193. However, Chennai Super Kings managed to script a dramatic turnaround to restrict KKR to 165/9 and clinch a title-winning 27-run win. 

Shardul Thakur was the pick of the bowlers with 3/38, while Josh Hazlewood and Ravindra Jadeja bagged a couple each. Dwayne Bravo could be labelled as the unsung hero, as he conceded just eight runs in his first two overs against Gill and Iyer and eventually finished with 1/29.

Earlier, Faf du Plessis’ fluent 59-ball 86 propelled CSK to 192/3, after Eoin Morgan opted to bowl. Ruturaj Gaikwad (32 off 27) became the youngest batsman ever to claim the IPL Orange cap, while Robin Uthappa (31 off 15) and Moeen Ali (37* off 20) too, played their parts.

It was the fourth IPL title for the MS Dhoni led side, in 12 years of their participation.
