When the 2nd leg started, no one felt KKR could reach IPL 2021 final: Aakash

Aakash Chopra admitted that the entry of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) into the IPL 2021 finals surprised everyone. KKR got into trouble at the beginning of the current version of the Indian Super League UAE, having only won two wins in their seven games in India. However, they staged a grand comeback to advance to the playoffs, then defeated the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Delhi Capital (DC) to win the right to face the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the final battle. Looking back on KKR’s victory against DC in a video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra spoke passionately about the sensational comeback of the team led by Eoin Morgan. He said:

“Break ke baad Kolkata zindabad, zindabad. You have done magic. When the IPL had restarted, no one felt including myself that Kolkata can reach till there. Reaching the final, are you kidding me? That was the feeling that you got.”

The cricketer-born commentator emphasized that it is KKR’s young brigade, mainly Indians, who are architects of transformation. Chopra elaborated:

“What a game, what a turnaround. Venkatesh Iyer, Rahul Tripathi, Shubman Gill, Varun Chakravarthy, Lockie Ferguson, Nitish Rana, Shivam Mavi towards the end – this has been an incredible story. The young Indians have changed the shape of their entire season.”
