KKR vs SRH IPL 2024 Final Live Score: Shreyas Iyer's Kolkata Knight Riders will take on Pat Cummins' Sunrisers Hyderabad

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, IPL 2024 Final Live Score: Shreyas Iyer’s Kolkata Knight Riders will take on Pat Cummins Sunrisers Hyderabad at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday. Though both teams have been exceptional with their batting it has been their brittle bowling

KKR is heavily reliant on mystery spinners to solve their bowling issues but SRH on the other hand has been more dependent on pace attack. However, Mitchell Starc in Qualifier 1 came into form and ran through the SRH top order. The wicket on Sunday is a red soil wicket and Starc will have help with the new ball which the SRH top order needs to be wary of.

For SRH the wicket that has been provided in the game against Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 2 has been ideal with all of their pace bowlers masters of slower ball variations. However, the issue for SRH has been their spinners. The lack of a quality spinner in the previous game became a blessing in disguise as Cummins had to utilize part-time spinner Abhishek Sharma and all-rounder Shahbaz which bore fruits.

On the eve of the IPL final, Shreyas Iyer was asked whether he is a less celebrated captain. Dating back to his stint with Delhi Capitals, this is the second time in the last four years where Shreyas is captaining his side in an IPL final. After missing the entire last season with Kolkata Knight Riders due to an injury, he is a key figure in their turnaround this season. But ironically it is Kolkata’s mentor Gautam Gambhir, who believes in sharing the credits, who is being celebrated for the remarkable season they are looking to cap off with a title win on Sunday.

Shreyas didn’t waste much time to respond to the question of leadership. “See, the hype is definitely created by you guys (media). I mean, where I stand is definitely upon you,” Shreyas said. (Read more from Venkata Krishna B)
