The mighty Kolkata Knight Riders will face the resilient Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League 2024 final today at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. This season, both sides have appeared to be in excellent form, generating spellbinding performances and jaw-dropping scores. If the duo can reproduce half of what they did this season, fans will be in for a wonderful treat.
Kolkata Knight Riders finished first in the table and defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad in the first qualifier, advancing to the final. On the other hand, the former champions, the Sunrisers, had to compete in the second qualifier, when they defeated the Rajasthan Royals to set up another dramatic fight with the two-time winners. Hyderabad’s only title in the world’s most valuable T20 event came in 2016 with another Australian, David Warner. Australian pride Pet Cummins, who was brought into Sunrisers Hyderabad with highest auction amount of $2.5 million has been captaining this side. He has already won ICC test championship and last year’s 50-over world cup 2023 for his country and if he wins this year’s IPL for SRH then definitely this would add another big trophy to his successful cricketing profile.
