KKR vs SRH LIVE SCORE UPDATES, IPL 2024 Final: Starc leads KKR pace attack in routing SRH’s top order
KKR vs SRH LIVE SCORE UPDATES, IPL 2024 Final: The long wait is ended as the IPL 2024 final match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad will take place in Chennai’s Chepauk Stadium. The teams will compete for the title of champions.
To get to the IPL 2024 grand finale, the two finest teams from the league stage proved their supremacy in the postseason. KKR, the reigning champions, played a collaborative kind of cricket this season and produced consistent results throughout the competition without adding any more layers of complexity. However, Sunrisers repeatedly made history by recording the greatest runs in the history of the IPL and demonstrating to everyone how brave cricket should be played in a competition like this.
Both sides will be under pressure to add another trophy to their collection, thus the championship game will be quite different. Though they have elite players in their dugout to mentor them and ease their anxieties, things will be different for them on the field.
Many began bringing up KKR and SRH’s record-breaking purchases of Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins, respectively, at the IPL auction prior to the season. For spending more than 20 crores apiece on the Australian pacers, both fans and critics questioned the clubs’ ability to think strategically. But with their on-field performances, they disproved them. When it meant most, Starc stood tall and put on an incredible display with the ball in the first qualifier of the event. Starc had started the competition off shaky since he was still getting used to playing in the Indian Premier League after several years away.However, Cummins proved to be the inspirational leader for Sunrisers, taking charge of the team and demonstrating why he is currently regarded as one of the best captains in cricket.
Hyderabad qualified for their third IPL final on Friday after defeating Rajasthan Royals by 36 runs in the last qualifier held in Chennai. However, that victory followed Kolkata’s humiliating eight-wicket loss to the reigning champions on Tuesday in the first play-off in Ahmedabad.
Under another Australian, David Warner, SRH’s solitary victory in the world’s most profitable T20 event occurred in 2016, and the pacer from Australia will try to repeat that feat.
Shreyas Iyer, meantime, has calmly led the team this season and won over many with his captaincy qualities. The purple team has also benefited greatly from Gautam Gambhir’s comeback to the KKR camp. The two-time IPL champion captain returned as a consultant, and his arrival altered the mood. He made significant changes like moving Sunil Narine to the opening position and assembling a flexible batting lineup that can adjust to any situation, which helped KKR win just three games on their way to the championship.
