Dubai:  Chennai Super Kings won IPL – 2021 with a margin of 27 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Dubai International Stadium on Friday. CSK under the captainship of Dhoni reached nine times to the final and won four IPL trophies. It was a fairytale comeback for MS Dhoni and his team, having failed to qualify for the playoffs for the first time ever after finishing seventh last season.
