In 2012, under the captaincy of Gautam Gambhir, Kolkata defeated Chennai to win the IPL title.

MS Dhoni the strength of Chennai

Talking about Chennai Super Kings, their biggest strength is Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Dhoni’s mind can turn the game anytime. After this, the opening batting of Chennai is very strong. The opening pair of this team has given a good start throughout the tournament. Along with this, two contenders for the Orange Cap are also included in this team. There is a lot of depth in the batting of this team. Talking about the weakness of Chennai, it is much weaker than Kolkata’s bowling attack. The middle order of this team is the weakest link. But if Chennai reached the final with Robin Uthappa’s brilliant performance in the last match, it would be a bit of a relief for the team.

Kolkata’s strength Narayan-Varun

Along with Kolkata’s batting, the bowling attack of this team is very strong. Playing Narayan and Varun Chakraborty has not been easy for everyone. These 2 players are the biggest strength for KKR. Playing 8 overs of both the players is challenging for any batsman. The opening pair has given a bang in the entire tournament so far. The weakness of this team is experience players like Eoin Morgan and Dinesh Karthik. No big innings has been played with the bat of both the players so far. KKR will have a good chance of winning the IPL for the third time.
