May 27, 2024


 

The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have emerged victorious in the 2024 IPL season, defeating the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in a one-sided final at Chepauk Stadium. KKR's bowling attack orchestrated a clinical performance, restricting SRH to a paltry 113 runs – the lowest total ever recorded in an IPL final.

SRH's batting crumbled under pressure, with none of their batsmen managing to build a significant partnership. Andre Russell spearheaded the KKR bowling attack, claiming three crucial wickets for just 19 runs. Mitchell Starc and Harshit Rana provided excellent support, picking up two wickets each.

SRH, despite a commendable season, fell short in the final hurdle. However, their journey to the finals is a testament to their resilience.

The win marks a significant moment for KKR, signifying their return to the pinnacle of IPL cricket after a decade-long wait. Congratulations to the champions and commiserations to SRH!
