KKR vs SRH Match Highlights And Report-IPL Final: In the most one-sided IPL final in the history of the tournament, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) thumped Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by 8 wickets and with 57 balls to spare in the IPL 2024 final on Sunday night at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai to clinch their third IPL trophy. Gautam Gambhir was the captain who led KKR to their first two IPL titles, in 2012 and 2014; this season, he was in their dugout in the role of a mentor.
Pat Cummins ended up on the losing side in a final this time as SRH were bowled out for only 113 runs, which is the lowest total in an IPL final.
Each of the six KKR bowlers were simply outstanding and gave no inch to the SRH batters after Cummins won the toss and elected to bat first.
