IPL 2024 final, KKR vs SRH: Knight Riders clinch 3rd IPL title, beat Sunrisers by 8 wickets in final

The Kolkata Knight Riders are IPL 2024 champions. The King's men thrashed the Sunrisers Hyderabad by 8 wickets in the final to clinch their 3rd IPL title and first after the 2014 season.

KKR played like champions not just in the final but throughout the season. After finishing at the top of the table in the league stage, the Knights dominated the playoffs and won Qualifier 1 and the final one-sided.

Toss was the only thing that didn't go Kolkata's way on Sunday but Pat Cummins gave that advantage too to KKR by opting to bat first.
The Knight Riders dictated terms from thereon and bowled out SRH for just 113, the lowest score in an IPL final.

The chase proved to be a cakewalk as KKR won by 8 wickets and 57 balls to spare. Venkatesh Iyer smashed a special half-century in the final to guide KKR home.

In the end, it wasn't just a one-sided final but a one-sided tournament which brought back the original KKR.
