The form of the middle-order is a big headache despite Robin Uthappa soothing the concerns with a half-century and Dhoni finishing off the match with a quick cameo. If the openers fail, then CSK are in trouble with the bat. 

IPL 2021 Final: CSK vs KKR - How they stack up...

KKR's Shubman Gill and CSK's Robin Uthappa

KKR


Strengths: Their opening pair of Venkatesh Iyer and Shubman Gill have been impressive. The bowlers have been efficient with Lockie Ferguson, Shivam Mavi, Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine doing the job with utmost precision.


Weakness: The form with the bat of their senior players Eoin Morgan and Dinesh Karthik is a major cause of concern. In the Qualifier 2 against Delhi, both Morgan and Karthik had ducks against their name. 


CSK

Strengths: The resounding start given by Ruturaj Gaikwad (603 runs) and Faf du Plessis (547 runs). The pair have complemented each other throughout the tournament. The bowlers, especially Shardul Thakur, have been clinching wickets at crucial times.

Weakness: The form of the middle-order is a big headache despite Robin Uthappa soothing the concerns with a half-century and Dhoni finishing off the match with a quick cameo. If the openers fail, then CSK are in trouble with the bat.
