Two of the most consistent teams, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), will face each other in the season finale of the 2024 IPL. After completing 70 league matches and three playoffs, Chennai is ready for the business end with the final on blockbuster Sunday.
KKR defeated SRH with eight wickets in Qualifier 1 and directly reached the final. SRH defeated Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Qualifier 2 with 36 runs and will meet KKR in the final. KKR won the IPL trophy two times, in 2012 and 2014, in Gautam Gambhir’s captaincy, and four times as finalists, including this year.
This time, Gambhir is the mentor, and they play the final in the Chepauk. It reminds the history of KKR fans of 2012. This year, they have an excellent chance to lift the trophy for the third time.
On the other hand, SRH won in 2016 under David Warner, the Aussie Captain, and three times finalists, including this year. This time, an Aussie, Pat Cummins, is the skipper of the Orange Army. Can they grab this trophy with the Aussie luck?
