Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders are taking part in the finals of IPL 2021. The game has seen rare drop catch by the legendary MS Dhoni. In this article, we take a look at how Twitter reacted to a rare drop catch by MS Dhoni in the final of IPL 2021.

After being put in to bat first, CSK openers were off to a cautious start. However, after Ruturaj Gaikwad and Faf du Plessis got a hang of the pitch, they started going big. They shared a 61-run partnership before Gaikwad got out. Eventually, CSK posted a total of 192.
KKR, who had been chasing lower totals since then, would have been under pressure, that too, in a final game. However, the openers have started well. Venkatesh Iyer and Shubman Gill have made good progress, not losing their wicket in the powerplay.
