This gave fans a glimpse of their team’s preparations a day before the final match.
Sanjay Manjrekar includes that the MS Dhoni-led CSK will start as favorites in the final match against KKR. He reasoned that KKR would be in panic mode. They nearly sabotaged a simple chase. During their previous game against Delhi after a middle-order collapse.
“Both teams would have liked a slow turner because that’s where Chennai is very good at using Deepak Chahar and [DJ] Bravo and others and Kolkata as well, in using the spinners. So this is slightly outside their comfort zone. This is a difficult game to call,” Sanjay Manjrekar said.

“And as I said earlier, most teams are carrying one major weakness that can just come undone on the big night but looking at the way things are and at Dhoni, how he manages the limitations, I am going with CSK as favorites. And especially after watching the panic set in Kolkata’s run chase, you know, you start feeling doubtful about it,” Manjrekar added.
Lastly, Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings are going to square off in the IPL final. They previously faced each other in the final in 2012. Kolkata won the match due to a stellar knock by wicket-keeper batter Manvinder Singh Bisla. Super Kings will be looking to settle the scores by winning this time around.
