ADVANTAGE CSK IN DUBAI?
The Super Kings though, will have the advantage of having more experience on this ground as compared to the Knight Riders. CSK played 4 games in Dubai out of which they won 2 while KKR played just 2 matches, winning one.
Even last year when IPL was shifted to the UAE, CSK played more games than KKR in Dubai. Dhoni's team won 4 of the 7 games played in Dubai here while KKR won 2 of the 3 they played in Dubai.
The longest season of the Indian Premier League (played over 7 months due to the Covid pandemic) is finally going to culminate in the final in Dubai on Friday night as Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders get ready to lock horns once again in a summit clash to decide the winner of the 2021 season on Dussehra.
