Chennai Super Kings (CSK) defeated Delhi Capitals (DC) in Qualifier 1 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 on October 10 and became the first team to reach the final of the tournament. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) are all set to lock horns with Kolkata Knight Riders on Monday, in the Eliminator of the IPL 2021 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Meanwhile, CSK skipper MS Dhoni took the entire cricketing world by storm on Sunday night by hitting a classic MSD knock of 18 runs off six balls, to win the match for CSK. He reminded everyone of the experience possessed by him while batting at the final moments of a match.

MS Dhoni walked out bat in the second ball of the 18th over and hit one six and three fours at a strike rate of 300. CSK was chasing a target of 173 runs set by DC in the first innings and cruised to victory, courtesy of half-centuries by Ruturaj Gaikwad and Robin Uthappa, along with Dhoni's quickfire 18 runs. On watching CSK reach their 9th IPL finals in 12 seasons of the IPL, many cricketing legends, as well as cricket fans, predicted that Virat Kohli-led RCB will win the Eliminator 1 on Monday, reach Qualifier 2. The speculations further pointed that RCB will win Qualifier 2 to fix their place against CSK in the IPL final.
