Wasim Jaffer says “World Cup-winning captain and a Kiwi coach in IPL 2021

Wasim Jaffer, a former India cricketer, has made a ‘correct’ prediction for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 final in Dubai on Friday between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).

IPL 2021 “A World Cup-winning captain and a Kiwi coach will lift the trophy tonight,” Jaffer says. Regardless of who wins the match, Jaffer’s forecast for the IPL final in 2021 will be proven correct.

MS Dhoni and Eoin Morgan have both won World Cups as captains. Dhoni-led India to the T20 World Cup in 2007 and the 50-over World Cup in 2011, whereas Morgan led England to the ODI World Cup in 2019.

In addition, both CSK and KKR employ former New Zealand captains as coaches. Brendon McCullum is the head coach of Kolkata, while Stephen Fleming is the head coach of Chennai.

CSK qualified for the final by defeating Delhi Capitals (DC) in Qualifier 1, while KKR qualified for the final by defeating Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Eliminator and DC in Qualifier 2.

Therefore, Former India opener Gautam Gambhir believes it is unfair to compare CSK skipper MS Dhoni’s batting form to that of KKR captain Eoin Morgan. While Dhoni has resigned from international cricket, Morgan is England’s current white-ball captain, according to Gambhir.

“Comparing their forms is very wrong in itself because MS Dhoni has retired from international cricket and the second player is the captain of his national team. You should not compare apples with oranges. MS Dhoni hasn’t played international cricket for so long and it’s acceptable if he’s not in form or is contributing less. But on the other hand, Morgan is playing international cricket. Still, if you look at their performances, MS Dhoni has performed better than Morgan even with the bat.” said Gambhir

In IPL 2021, Dhoni has 114 runs at a strike rate of 106.54%. Morgan, on the other hand, has 129 runs with a strike rate of 98.47.
