From languishing at the 7th spot after the India leg of IPL 2021, to making it to the final, KKR has had an incredible ride but now stand at the cusp of becoming the joint 2nd-most successful team in IPL history

When the IPL was postponed midway due to Covid-19, KKR had lost 5 of its 7 games and were languishing in the bottom half of the table. But a different KKR turned up ever since the tournament was shifted to the UAE as their next 7 results were a mirror image of the first leg. Kolkata won 5 of the last 7 league games and on the back of the best net run rate among all teams, the Knights qualified for the playoffs.&nbsp; Hussey:&nbsp;&nbsp;It's just the difficult nature of the pitches that we've been playing on. It makes the middle order players sort of stand out. They're not getting the strike rate of 200 there to knuckle down and maybe get struck out of 110 to 120. So not concerned, we go to Dubai full of confidence. And yeah, you just never know what's going to happen. Experts still believed that it would be a tough road ahead but KKR made Sharjah its fortress and after knocking out RCB, the 2-time champions stunned the Delhi Capitals to enter their 3rd IPL final and first since 2014. One man who has turned the tournament on its head is Venkatesh Iyer. Ever since he was brought into the side, he replicated coach Brendon McCullum's style of play and has already smashed 320 runs in 9 innings. Though the Knights are now just one step away from becoming the joint 2nd-most successful team in IPL history, they will have to edge out CSK, who became the first team to qualify for the final. Hussey: if we plan well, execute well, yeah. hopefully we come out on top. In terms of the grand final and our record that we have in it, it's a great record to go into a grand final and you do take a bit of confidence from that. But playing against the Chennai Super Kings, who have barely missed the finals in the in the history of the IPL. So yeah, it's going to be a great contest. They're very well coached the Chennai Super Kings. And yeah, I know walking in the dressing room tonight, all the boys cannot wait to get to Dubai and play on Friday night Never the less, it's been a story of one team against all odds, it's been a story of a captain who was criticized for poor form with the bat but didn't give in.&nbsp;And not even a loss in the final can take that away from the Knights of Kolkata.

IPL 2021: Virat Kohli's captaincy career with RCB ends empty handed

Virat Kohli took over the captaincy reigns of the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in 2013 and 9 years down the line, the Delhi lad ended his career as RCB skipper empty handed.
Bite: last season as skipper
 Kohli announced that 2021 will be his last year as skipper in the IPL but the final chance to get his hands on the silverware went down the drain as RCB lost to KKR in the Eliminator.
 When one compares that with long-term players to lead an IPL team, Kohli's run seems even more disappointing.
 (Graphic to be made on invideo) While CSK won 3 IPL titles under MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma on the other hand led Mumbai Indians to glory 5 times. RCB has lost 69 and won just 64 games under Virat, one of the poorest records by a captain in IPL history.
 While Kohli would have loved to make his last dance as a skipper count but eventually his team failed to put up a royal challenge and perished in the playoffs as fans were left gazing at the longest valid meme in IPL history.

Shivam Mavi decimated Sanju Samson's men with his career best IPL figures of 4/21 as The Royals were bowled out for mere 85.&nbsp; With the best net run rate amongst all teams, KKR are all but through to the playoffs unless Mumbai don't achieve the unthinkable on Friday.

After heartbreak in the previous game, KKR returned to winning ways on Sunday night as they beat SRH by 6 wickets and have the best shot at sealing the 4th playoffs spot in IPL 2021.
Hyderabad's decision to bat first backfired as KKR bowlers choked their batters from the very first over and restricted SRH to 115/8. It wasn't an easy run chase though as the wicket didn't support free stroke play. in form duo of Venkatesh Iyer and Rahul Tripathi fell cheaply but Shubman Gill kept KKR in the game with his 8th IPL fifty. He was dismissed straight after that and Nitish Rana too followed him back into the hut. But it was Dinesh Karthik's unbeaten 12-ball-18 that took KKR over the finish line and helped them go to 12 points.&nbsp;
