Chennai Super Kings became the first team to qualify for the playoffs after the side defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by 6 wickets at Sharjah. In IPL 2020, CSK was the first team to get eliminated from the playoffs race and this season, they are the first franchise to enter it. Twitter was mighty pleased with the comeback. In this article, we take a look at how Twitter reacted to CSK becoming the first team to qualify for playoffs in IPL 2021.
CSK qualifies to playoffs in IPL 2021
Last season, Chennai Super Kings was in disappointing form. Despite having a decent squad, the franchise struggled to win games. The players were underperforming, and they also found it hard to adjust to the conditions. Hence, it became the first team to drop out of the playoffs race in IPL 2020. It was the first season in IPL history that CSK did not reach the playoffs in a campaign that they were competing in.
In IPL 2021, the vintage CSK came to the fore. The management made a few smart buys at the auction and the MS Dhoni unit got ready with a strong unit. They won games convincingly and did well both in India and UAE. By defeating SRH in Game No.44, CSK entered the playoffs and became the first team to do it in this edition.
Twitter reacts to the roaring comeback by MS Dhoni’s unit
CSK is one of the most followed franchises on social media. Most of the users were happy with the fact that Chennai stepped into the playoffs in style. Although they have done it previously on similar lines, this time, it was even more special. This was because the team could not manage the feat last season. Hence, a lot of criticism was directed against them after the campaign. To do it in the immediate season itself, that too, with a similar squad, Twitterati was impressed with CSK’s efforts. Here are a few reactions in this regard:
