KKR vs SRH: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will cross swords with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the IPL 2024 final. The high-voltage encounter will kick off at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on May 26, Sunday at 7:30 PM (IST).

Both teams have locked horns with each other 27 times in the history of the IPL. KKR have an upper hand in terms of the head-to-head as they won 18 games whereas SRH won 9 games.

KKR and SRH faced each other twice in IPL 2024, once in the group stage and the other meeting came in the Qualifier 1. The Knight Riders won the group stage fixture by 4 runs before winning the Qualifier 1 against SRH by 8 wickets.

For the unversed, both teams will be playing against each other in Chennai for the second time. The last time they faced each other, KKR won by 10 runs in IPL 2021. Let's take a look at the four batters who can muster the most runs in the IPL 2024 final.

1. Shreyas Iyer: KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer is expected to unleash his fury in the showdown against SRH at Chepauk. The right-hander played a spectacular knock against SRH in the Qualifier 1 in Ahmedabad where he scored a match-winning 58* off 24 balls, laced with 5 fours and 4 sixes at a strike rate of 241.67.

2. Travis Head: The Australian might not have made an impact with the bat in the Qualifier 1 against SRH as he was dismissed for a second-ball duck but he will be looking forward to posing a serious threat to KKR in the clutch game. Travis Head who knows a thing or two about going about his business in the final is expected to go all guns blazing.

3. Andre Russell: The Caribbean hasn't been at his impressive best with the bat in the ongoing season. Having played 13 games for KKR this season, he scored 222 runs at a strike rate of 185. His solitary fifty came against SRH in the group stage fixture and was adjudged the Man of the Match for his unbeaten 64* off 25 (3 fours, 7 sixes). We expect him to do well against SRH in the final.

4. Heinrich Klaasen: The South African international has caused problems to KKR bowlers in the last two fixtures of this season's IPL. He scored a quickfire 63 off 29 balls, laced with 8 maximums in the group stage game against KKR. In the Qualifier 1 against the same opponent, he scored 32 off 21 balls (3 fours, 1 six).
