Chennai Super Kings lifted their fourth IPL trophy on Friday in Dubai after a 27-run win against Kolkata Knight Riders in the final. Experts from the cricketing world expressed their delight as the Chennai-based franchise emerged as IPL 2021 champions after a disappointing season last year.

The Chennai Super Kings outplayed two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders to register a 27-run win, and clinched the IPL 2021 title in Dubai on Friday, October 15. MS Dhoni led the Chennai-based franchise to their fourth IPL title.

After being asked to bat first, Faf du Plessis’ 59-ball 86 propelled CSK to 192/3. 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) helped CSK to score a huge total in the IPL 2021 final. In reply to CSK’s 192 runs, Shubman Gill and Venkatesh Iyer both scored fifties and stitched up a 91-run partnership for the opening wicket for Kolkata Knight Riders. However, Chennai Super Kings managed to script a dramatic turnaround to restrict KKR to 165/9 and clinch their fourth IPL title.

After MS Dhoni lifted his franchise's fourth IPL title, legends and experts from the cricketing world expressed their delight through social media.

True

Marvellous performance by #CSK. KKR looked more rounded side and with more players in form. But #CSK showed the champion stuff they are made of. Crux was posting a big score after losing toss. Gave bowlers enough runs to defend
