Maybe this was just the dress rehearsal of the #IPL2021 final. What a match #DCvCSK #DCvsCSK ! A young Delhi is the only realistic challenger of an experienced Chennai.

A terrific victory for @DelhiCapitals to get to the top! Their momentum now is unmatched and they are the clear favorites, csk fans can say catches win matches but 136 was never going to be enough on this wicket for @ChennaiIPL, but a grt fight back by the men in yellow!#DCvCSK

Lack of control from Bravo today. Anyways, a tough loss. Blaming Gowtham makes no sense when our innings is stuck in my mind. #IPL
