I still maintain- Rahul Tripathi's injury during the finals of IPL 2021 was a major turning point. Batting in the middle order he was crucial in KKR's success last season. Gotta be one of the most underrated batsman in T20 cricket at the moment.

Agreed the deck was slow and not the easiest to bat on. But safe to assume that an Indian team with Dhoni and Yuvraj would have chased 270 tonight. They would have taken it deep and then knocked of the required 9-10 per over in the last 3 overs or so.
