CSK's record in finals: 8 attempts; won 3, lost 5; success %: 38
KKR's record in finals: 2 attempts; won 2, lost 0; success %: 100
CSK vs KKR record in finals: 1 attempt; won by KKR (2012)

Stats tilt it in favor of KKR! And form and team composition also on their side.

The biggest thing in favour of KKR is my heart supporting CSK!

My story as I have shared previously stems from loving Dada. Yes the actor behind the team is someone who I admired when I was younger. When GG took over, I was still happy as I liked him as a batsman and a leader. His off field nature is something I personally do not care like I do not care for any players or actors or leaders on what they do in their personal time. Plus being born in Mumbai and having attended so many Mumbai Indians games up until 2012, I had two teams.

I always love CSK but when Dhoni was leading India, I knew CSK would flourish under him. I was like I already support that chap in Indian jersey and have always done that, its time I follow someone else. I was a huge VK admirer but never liked his captaincy 1 bit so never supported RCB... DC, SRH/Chargers/RR/KXIP all had no connection with me whatsoever. The only time I might have supported KXIP was for Yuvi. I feel lucky to feel the connection with two teams in IPL in KKR and MI but KKR just edges out a little. Have gone through a lot with that team. First three seasons were brutal and the moment Gauti took over first play offs then champions in the next season.


On a different topic looking at the stats, DC and RCB are the only two teams who have qualified for the playsoffs half the time and not yet won a trophy. Hopefully one of them win next year.

Team	Qualified For Playoffs	Won the title	Ratio
Mumbai	9 out of 13 seasons	5	55.55%
CSK	11 out of 12 seasons*	3*	30% (not counting this season yet)
KKR	7 out of 13 seasons*	2*	33.33 (not counting this season yet)
RCB	7 out of 13 seasons	0	0%
SRH	6 out of 9 seasons	1	16.67%
DC	6 out of 13 seasons	0	0%
Rajasthan Royals	4 out of 13 seasons	1	25%
KXIP	2 out of 13 seasons	0	0%

Dada is love.

After MI the other Team I used to support back in the day as crazy IPL Fan was KKR only because of Ganguly.

Used to support MI like India when Sachin Played circa 2008-13.

But guess when Sachin retired it was never the same for me with MI.

Effects of supporting RCB for a decade. You can never trust any team you support if you are an RCB fan I guess.

I just fell for this in 2018 IPL Final only to see a Watto special.

I remembered this when I watched yesterday's winning hit from Rahul Tripathi.

I don't care about England football

Denmark are worth supporting because they have a guy called Lucky Ali in the team.

I will be supporting KKR to pull off an upset today. Just to stay on topic.

Aaa bhi aaja aa bhi aaja .... A famous Lucky Ali Song.


Lucky Ali a popular bollywood singer.

Dinesh Karthik's wicket keeping has been atrocious in the last few matches.

 

[NILAYSHAH60]

1. KKR with a 100% record have won both Finals chasing totals.
2. CSK have won 2 of their Finals chasing totals
3. CSK lost their previous Final against KKR defending 190+..... Manvinder Bisla scored 89
4. CSK's average score batting first in Finals is 182 (never batted first after 2012 Final which they lost to KKR)
5. SRH had never lost an IPL Final till 2018 which they lost to CSK. KKR also have never lost a Final until now

Odds heavily stacked in KKR's favour.

Calling it now. Gaikwad will be CSK captain in 2022 if they don't select Jadeja for the job.
