Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad played the Final of IPL 2024 on Sunday (May 26) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
KKR were eyeing to win their 3rd IPL title while SRH had eyes on their 2nd title. It promised to be an exciting encounter but ended up being the most one-sided Final in IPL history.

SRH captain Pat Cummins won the toss and opted to bat first. However, the decision backfired as SRH had a terrible start. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma were dismissed in the first two overs, and the team never recovered.
Andre Russell led the bowling attack for KKR, taking 3 wickets. Mitchell Starc and Harshit Rana also contributed, picking up 2 wickets each. SRH were bowled out for a meager 113 runs. Pat Cummins was the top scorer with just 24 runs. Travis Head and Heinrich Klaasen, with scores of 0 and 16 respectively, were largely disappointing.
Chasing a target of 114 runs, KKR faced an early setback when Sunil Narine was dismissed quickly. But Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Venkatesh Iyer steadied the innings. Venkatesh played a crucial role, scoring an unbeaten 52 off just 26 balls. Gurbaz added 39 runs to the tally as KKR completed the chase in just 10.3 overs, securing a dominant victory at Chepauk Stadium.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) won the IPL 2024 Title after winning the Final by 8 wickets with 57 balls to spare.
