IPL 2021 Final: CSK vs KKR- 3 CSK Superstars Who Might Warm The Bench In The Final
3. Suresh Raina
Suresh Raina is the first player in this list. Suresh Raina played a lot of matches in IPL 2021, but towards the end, he was benched. After his poor batting show, the team instead gave opportunities to Robin Uthappa in the middle-order.
Suresh Raina scored 160 runs in 11 innings at an average of 17.77 with 1 half-century. After Uthappa’s brilliant 63-run knock in the Qualifier 1 game against Delhi Capitals, it looks like the team might bench Raina in the final game as well and pick Uthappa.

2. Imran Tahir
Imran Tahir is another CSK star who might not be part of the team in the IPL 2021 final. Imran Tahir has been part of CSK for a few years. The leg spinner played just 1 match during the first leg, in which he picked 2 wickets.
With the spin-friendly UAE grounds, CSK was expected to play Imran Tahir in some games. However, he remained out of the playing XI during the entire UAE leg. In the final, too, Tahir is highly expected to warm the bench.
1. Lungi Ngidi
Lungi Ngidi is another CSK player who might warm the bench in IPL 2021 final. Ngidi played 3 games during the first leg. He picked 5 wickets at an average of 25. However, he emerged quite expensive with his economy of 10.41.
Moreover, after the arrival of Josh Hazlewood in the squad during the UAE leg, the team picked Hazlewood instead of Ngidi in all the games. In the final, too, Lungi Ngidi is expected to warm the bench.
