Venkatesh Iyer after his winning run
Really happy, credit goes to Abhishek Nayar, all the credit in the world, the way he's worked for the franchise. Some contributions go unnoticed, I want to make sure they don't. He was the one who built this Indian core. We waited for 10 years, credit to the management and the coaching staff.

KKR's bowling coach Bharat Arun speaks his heart out!
It has been pretty tough the last two years, we didn't qualify and there has been introspection and we worked on areas which needed to be worked on. [on Rana] He has been outstanding and it's about the bowler understanding what his strengths are and when he does, it comes out beautifully on the ground. Mitch coming into the team boosted the confidence of the other youngsters. He has been one of the best bowlers in world cricket and he has been in such situations before, it's about understanding Indian conditions and once he did that, it is magic all over. They have been outstanding, spinners mature with age, both bowling in tandem has worked exceptionally for us. He has brought a totally different dimension to our batting this year and it was Gautam who insisted that Sunny open and what Sunny did was outstanding.

Cummins gets the first one for his team. He removes the dangerous Sunil Narine on the second ball of the second over.

KKR vs SRH IPL 2024 final live: Starc drops Cummins!!
Will this prove a little expensive? Starc has dropped Cummins at long-on. This should have been taken. Cummins tried to slog it down the ground but there was no power in it. Starc is well ahead of the ropes but puts down a sitter.

KKR vs SRH IPL 2024 Final: Klaasen is GONE!!!
That might be the last hope of a big score disappearing. Harshit Rana gets the big fish Heinrich Klaasen, who has played on this one. A slower one as Klaasen went to drive this but it possibly came a bit slow to him. It hit the inside edge and Klaasen is gone. SRH 90/8 after 14.1
-
May 26, 2024 8:40 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik
KKR vs SRH IPL 2024 Final: Kolkata all over Sunrisers!!
This is just not going SRH's way at all. The seventh one is down and SRH are in a deep deep hole. Abdul Samad was called in as an Impact sub and Russell takes him for just four runs. This was a fuller one that held its line. Samad played this away from his body and Gurbaz takes a good catch behind the wickets.

KKR vs SRH IPL 2024 final: Starc gets another!!
And Starc strikes again. His second of the day and SRH have gone three down now. This was a fuller one and angling away from the right-hander. Tripathi looked to flick it but got the leading edge up into the air which is taken by Ramandeep.

KKR vs SRH IPL 2024 final live: Vaibhav follows suit!!
Vaibhav Arora gets the other SRH opener and their highly celebrated pair is back in the hut with only 12 balls into this final. A good delivery pitch on the leg stump and seamed away from the left-hander from over the wicket. It was too close to the body and Head had no option other than to play at it. He gets a poke at it and Gurbaz takes it behind the stumps. Head gone for a golden duck. This is a brilliant start from KKR bowlers yet again. SRH 6/2 after 2

KKR vs SRH IPL 2024 final live: Starc gets another first-over wicket!!
And this man does it again. What is he upto? If it is not Head, he will get the other one. What a delivery that was. It angled in, to draw the batter in front and then swung away a bit to hit the top of off. What a start!

KKR vs SRH IPL 2024 final live: Sunrisers openers start the action!!
And the action is live now. All the talking, debates and discussions are done and now it is time for the battle between the bat and the ball. And we have a change in batting position. Abhishek and Head are out but it's Abhishek who takes the strike first. The reason is Starc, who got Head on second-ball duck in Qualifier 1 in over 1.

KKR vs SRH IPL 2024 final: Travis Head speaks ahead of the final!
It's another final. It's nice to be here, it's been a very enjoyable couple of months, so hopefully we can top it off tonight and please a lot of fans. (On losing 4 & 3 wickets in the powerplay in the last two matches) We'd obviously like to lose a little bit less. We got to 170 both times without hitting the marks that we wanted to hit. That's exciting as a group and we spoke about that - we want to go out and continue to play aggressive, play positively and do what we've done the whole time. The positive is that we've been able to get to totals that's given us half a chance with a powerplay like that. So hopefully tonight we can get off to a really good start and get to a really big score. (Any advantage having played Qualifier 2 at this venue?) We'll say yes and they'll say no. We have to come prepared and we are ready to go. We had a look at it the other day, it'll be completely different. It's about making sure that we sum those conditions up as quickly as we can and communicate that well. If it's with the bat, get off to the best start we can with me and Abhi (Abhishek Sharma). If it's the ball, then Bhuvi will kickstart that for us. (Battle against Starc) We have had our battles over the years and he's won a fair few of them, hopefully knock the shine off him tonight and then we get off to a good start.

KKR vs SRH IPL 2024 final live: Shreyas Iyer at toss
We would have bowled, we'll get a fair idea about how the pitch will play. It's a red soil and we played our last game on a similar surface. We need to stay with the present, stick to the basics and execute all our plans. Every individual is taking responsibility, this is a big game, we've plenty of people who're playing in a final for the first time, nervous, but this is also a good chance. We're going with the same team

KKR vs SRH IPL 2024 final live: Pat Cummins at toss
Looks like a good wicket, never good at reading wickets. But this looks fine. There was no dew the other night, doesn't seem there will be today, but who knows. We are playing a particular style, won't work every time but when it does, it will be damaging. Good to be back here. It is a different soil, but you are asking the wrong bloke. Shahbaz comes in for Samad

KKR vs SRH IPL 2024 final: Sunrisers have a task cut out!!
Not only because KKR look an evenly balanced side but there is some history attached here. SRH have lost both their games to KKR in the season. Of the teams who have lost all the games of a season against an opponent and met again in the final, only MI have won the summit clash. They lost to Rising Pune Supergiant in 2017 all the times but won in the final

KKR vs SRH IPL 2024: MA Chidambaram Stadium pitch report!!
This is one of the most important things for today - the pitch report. "It's a red soil pitch, 63m and 70m square boundaries, the straight boundary is at 77m. Red clay tends to have a lot of bounce, this is a well prepared pitch and we should have a high scoring game. The scores could range anywhere around 175-190. This is the third final at this venue and there have been high scores in both the previous games. Not a lot of spin, but significant bounce. Unconventional shots, horizontal bat shots is what the batters will look to do against spin. The groundsmen have assured that there'll be no dew tonight as well," Ian Bishop and Matthew Hayden say in their pitch report.

Run going to stop at some point: Pat Cummins
It would be great (winning the title) but the run's going to stop at some point. It's been a great couple of years, but I haven't captained any T20 cricket team before this series. So, I'm not too sure what to expect. It's quite fast-paced."

KKR vs SRH IPL 2024 final: Kolkata's road to the finals!!
KKR seem to be the best team in the competition. They were second to RR for the majority of the time in the league phase but have looked like the most complete team this season. Sunil Narine's run with both bat and the ball, Andre Russell's form in both departments, pacers Mitchell Starc, Harshit Rana and Vaibhav Arora's impact with the ball. Shreyas Iyer and Venkatesh Iyer have chipped in while Phil Salt was also a vital cog in their journey. KKR were the table-toppers and then the first ones to reach into the finals with a win over SRH. This might be their season!

KKR vs SRH IPL 2024 final: Shreyas, Cummins eye the glory!
Shreyas Iyer is the only captain in IPL history to have led two different teams into an IPL final and when he steps onto the field today, he will have a chance to join MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma, his mentor Gautam Gambhir and Hardik Pandya as the only IPL winning captains.
Pat Cummins has won pretty much everything as a captain. The WTC Championship, the Ashes retention, the ODI World Cup - he already has a great resume in his short leadership gig. While he has been successful in the longer formats, this is his first leadership stint in T20 cricket. What a moment it would be if he could get his arms over the IPL trophy at the maiden shot.
