IPL 2021 Final Stat Preview: MS Dhoni eyes 4th title in 10th final, KKR look to maintain perfect record
India Today
IPL 2021 Final: Chennai Super Kings will look to win their 4th title but MS Dhoni's men haven't had a great record in the IPL finals. On the other hand, KKR are looking to complete a hat-trick of wins in the summit matches of IPL.
Chennai Super Kings are undoubtedly one of the most decorated teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL). MS Dhoni's men have reached as many as 9 finals and won 3 titles. However, in those 9 finals, CSK have lost 6, highlighting a peculiar inconsistent run over the years.
CSK have lost 5 of their last 6 finals since meeting Kolkata Knight Riders in the summit clash in 2012. For a team that is known for pulling off some improbable victories, MS Dhoni's men have underperformed in the final matches. On their return to the IPL in 2018, CSK showcased stunning form and beat Sunrisers Hyderabad in the final but lost to Mumbai Indians by 1 run in the following year.
