IPL 2021 final, CSK vs KKR playing 11: Will Kolkata tinker its line-up?
In grand finale of 14th edition of Indian Premier League (IPL 2021), three-time IPL champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will lock horns with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Dubai International Ground today. Kolkata who has won two IPL title so far, has not lost in finals and would look to continue its dream run this season after the marquee league was shifted to UAE. Talking about the playing 11, CSK is unlikely to make any changes in its playing as the team management would not want to tinker winning combination.

Meanwhile, KKR has been pondering over the inclusion of West Indian all-rounder Andre Russell in its playing 11. In the absence of Russell, Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan made an impact in three-consecutive wins and helped the two-time champions to make maximum use of slow and sluggish Sharjah wicket. But CSK vs KKR final is scheduled to take place at Dubai, whose pitch does not favour the spinners much and Eoin Morgan would like to have an extra pace bowling option.
