The most awaited T20 sporting event in the world is all set to start from September 19th, 2021 where arch-rivals Chennai and Mumbai will mark the resumption of the second leg of the cash-rich league.
The biggest questions that arise in the mind of all cricket fans will be to figure out teams who will be playing the semifinal of the marquee event.
We will certainly answer that question based on certain parameters which are Strong Indian contingents, Overseas Bowler, Spinning combination, and Power Hitter.
The first team which comes to my mind will be Delhi Capitals very well led by Rishabh Pant in absence of Shreyas Iyer in the first leg of IPL. They have strong Indian contingents in their lineup which consist of Shreyas Iyer, Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, Ishant Sharma, and Amit Mishra.
Overseas bowlers like Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje are well equipped to give batsmen of other franchises a run of their money.
They have a good spinner in their armory which includes Ashwin, Amit Sharma, and Axar Patel who are individual match-winner with the ball on their given day.
Power Hitters like Shimron Hetmyer, Rishabh Pant, and Marcus Stonis make them the strong team to make into the Top 4 of the cash-rich league.
After Delhi Capitals the other team who makes a strong case of entering into the final 4 is defending Champion Rohit Sharma.
They have every base covered when it comes to strong Indian contingents where players like Surya Kumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Krunal Pandya, and Hardik Pandya are well equipped to cope up their performance in the crunch moments of the game.
Overseas Bowler which includes Trent Boult, Mitchell can destroy any batting lineup with their swing and seam skills.
Spinners like Rahul Chahar who receive a maiden India call up along with Krunal Pandya is handy in the crunch moments in the game.
They have several power hitters in their lineup starting with Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Kieron Pollard can easily scramble any bowling lineup on a given day.
The third team which comes in this list is Ms Dhoni-led CSK side who has recovered from the demons of the last edition and did pretty well in the first leg of IPL 2021 and will be equally keen to replicate the same performance in the second leg.
Strong Indian contingents like Ravindra Jadeja, Rituraj Gaywkwad, and MS Dhoni himself present a strong case for themselves to make sure the Yellow army crosses the line this year.
Overseas bowlers like Josh Hazlewood, Imran Tahir, and Lungi Ngidi are capable enough to deliver for CSK in the second leg of IPL 2021.
Spinners like Imran Tahir, Piyush Chawala can be handy with the ball and can trouble world-class batsmen.
Power Hitters like Dwayne Bravo, Ms Dhoni, Suresh Raina, and Faf du Plessis are experienced and can tackle all kinds of bowling lineups of the world.
The last team that can make into the Top 4 of IPL 2021 is Royal Challengers Bangalore under the leadership of Indian skipper Virat Kohli.
The red army is doing pretty well in the first leg of IPL 2021 and is expected to win this year and they have all the ingredients in their armory to qualify for the final 4 of cash-rich league.
They have strong Indian contingents in their lineup which consist long list of Virat Kohli, Harshal Patel, Devdutt Paddikkal.
Overseas bowlers like Kyle Jamieson, Dan Christian, Wannindu Hasaranga, and Dushmantha Chammera can trouble any batting lineup.
Spinners like Yuzvendra Chahal, Waninidu Hasaranga can trouble any batsman with their variation and skills.
Power Hitters like Glenn Maxwell, Ab De Villiers, and Virat Kohli these trios can destroy any bowling lineup in the world.
