Rajasthan vs Chennai: The Teams That Clashed in the Inaugural Final
The Indian T20 League 2020 was Team Chennai’s worst performance in the tournament’s history. It looked like the three-time champions had started to wear out. However, the MS-Dhoni-led side turned back the clock with some clinical performances in the first phase of the Indian T20 League 2021. On the other hand, Team Rajasthan’s performance has been downhill since the nail-biting final of the inaugural edition, where they defeated Chennai by 1 run. This year, the revamped Rajasthan have entered the tournament with much enthusiasm under new captain Sanju Samson.

- Team Chennai Squad
Few teams rely on their foreign players as much as Rajasthan do. Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler have won matches almost single-handedly for the team, but now much will depend on Evin Lewis, who has been roped in as a replacement for Buttler. The Englishmen have opted out of the tournament citing personal reasons. Chris Morris will have to play a vital role with both the bat and the ball as 2020 MVP Jofra Archer has been ruled out due to injury. Here are few key players who can play a key role for the Rajasthan team in the 2021 season:
Rituraj Gaikwad has been a revelation for Team Chennai ever since he started opening. Moreover, the return of Suresh Raina has provided the much-needed stability to the batting department that the team lacked in in the previous edition. The emergence of Shardul Thakur has also been a heartwarming story. Here are some players who can play a key role for the Chennai team in the 2021 season:
