Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra has picked the top four candidates to qualify for the playoffs of the 2021 edition of the Indian Premier League. According to Aakash, two teams that are certain to qualify for the IPL 2021 Playoffs are former champions Chennai Super Kings and IPL 2020 Runners-up Delhi Capitals.
For the third position in the final four of IPL 2021, Aakash Chopra selected Virat Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bangalore. Now, most fans feel that these three franchises are likely to make it to the playoffs. The question is who will be the fourth team.
As of now, none of the teams have been ruled out of IPL 2021 Playoffs. Yes, one can say that the Sunrisers Hyderabad have the least chances, but they still have a chance. Among Rajasthan Royals, Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings, the fans believe it’s a battle between MI and KKR.
Both teams are in the race to the IPL 2021 Playoffs. KKR was in the lower half of the standings during the Indian leg of the competition, but they have risen to the Top 4 after some magnificent performances in the UAE. Meanwhile, two-time defending champions Mumbai Indians have registered only a solitary victory in their four matches of IPL 2021 UAE leg so far.
Aakash Chopra feels Kolkata Knight Riders will qualify for IPL 2021 Playoffs
Aakash Chopra, who was once a Kolkata Knight Riders batter, feels his former Indian Premier League franchise will make it to the Top 4 in the 2021 season.
“For fourth, there’s going to be a fight between Mumbai and Kolkata. I have a strong feeling that if Kolkata doesn’t hit a self-goal, they’ll make it. If Russell is fit then there will be no self-goal but it can happen here because the captain is in zero form,” Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel.
