IPL Final 2024, KKR vs SRH Live Score: Iyer takes the trophy from BCCI president Roger Binny and secretary Jay Shah and then goes and celebrates with the rest of the team. Among the active players in that squad, it is only Sunil Narine who has experienced this twice before in a KKR shirt. Andre Russell was there with the team in 2014 and guess what, so was SRH captain Pat Cummins that season. He played one match for KKR that season, picked one wicket for 29 runs in four overs. The captain at the time, and in 2012, was Gautam Gambhir and he is there of course, lifting the trophy as part of the backroom staff. KKR's first title in 10 years comes in Gambhir's first season back with the team. And this could very well be one of the strongest performances ever by a title winning team thus far - KKR lost just three matches the entire season and had finished the league stage with a net run rate of 1.428, far ahead of any other side on the table. SRH can hold their heads high though, they have pretty much been in the wilderness the last few years. They held the wooden spoon last year. But this season, they have done far more than just finishing runners-up. In fact, this team might just go down as one of the most influential ones in the history of T20 cricket. But KKR's win also shows that despite this format being so vastly different to Tests and ODIs, the age-old adage of solidity being more dependable than explosiveness in the long run still holds true. That's it from us for this final and for this IPL season. We hope you had as much fun following as we had covering it. There will be more stuff to come from this anti-climactic and yet remarkable final though and so stay glued to CrickIt! Ciao!
