This game is clearly not for the faint-hearted and one thing's for sure--one cannot bet against MS Dhoni. The CSK skipper has not been doing well with the bat but cometh the hour, cometh the man. And the veteran finisher has rolled back the days where he finished games at will, with just 18 runs off just six balls. It is three times a charm as Chennai Super Kings finally have been able to defeat Delhi Capitals this season and in a match that mattered the most. Chasing 173, Robin Uthappa and Ruturaj Gaikwad steadied the ship for CSK and when it looked that they would run away with the game, Delhi came back with a flurry of wickets. But Dhoni held his calm at the end and finished off in style! Chennai enter their ninth IPL final and would be waiting to see which side among Delhi, Kolkata and Bangalore join them in the summit clash. As of now, it is a good good night for CSK fans while Delhi Capitals would aim to recuperate and come back hard in Qualifier 2.

OUT! The partnership is finally broken and Robin Uthappa is the one to depart for 63 runs off 44 balls. Tom Curran provides Delhi a much-needed breakthrough and Uthappa skies the ball.

Delhi Capitals lock horns with Chennai Super Kings in Qualifier 1 of the Indian Premier League 2021 on Sunday, October 10. Delhi have been a dominant force this season, having finished at the top of the table and are looking in good form to make it to their second consecutive final. Despite a loss to Royal Challengers Bangalore in their last league stage match, Rishabh Pant's side would be upbeat about their chances of toppling CSK in this encounter. MS Dhoni's side meanwhile, had become the first team this season to qualify for the playoffs but three consecutive losses have now left them with low confidence, momentum and poor form.VIVO IPL 2021 Orange Cap Holder List
MS Dhoni's side would have a further opportunity to reach the final should they fail to defeat Delhi Capitals but they would not want to leave it that way. Already having lost to Delhi twice this season, Chennai would require some of their best performers--Ruturaj Gaikwad, Faf Du Plessis, Ravindra Jadeja and also Shardul Thakur to step up and give their best. It would be an interesting clash nonetheless with both sides having balanced teams.
