CSK vs KKR, IPL 2021 Final Toss Update: Kolkata win toss, opt to bowl; Chennai bat

MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings are set to face Eoin Morgan-led Kolkata Knight Riders in the high-octane grand finale of IPL 2021 at Dubai International Stadium, Dubai.

It will be a record ninth final appearance in 12 editions for Chennai, who have won three titles in 2010, 2011, and 2018. Kolkata, on the other hand, have won the title in 2012 and 2014 under Gautam Gambhir. They will play their third final. It will also be a repeat of the 2012 IPL final, where both teams faced each other.

Chennai beat Delhi Capitals by four wickets in Qualifier 1 in Dubai and became the first team to reach IPL 2021 final. Kolkata also defeated the same team by three wickets in a thrilling Qualifier 2 in order to finals berth after seven years. The title clash will be a battle between the two of the best white-ball captains -- MS Dhoni and Eoin Morgan, both of whom have lifted the ODI World Cup.
