One last dance. One final battle. The marathon extravagant competition, which is more-than-two-month-long, is about to get over on Sunday.

KKR Vs SRH IPL 2024 Final: Team Previews

Kolkata Knight Riders

Under the leadership of head coach Chandrakant Pandit, mentor Gautam Gambhir, and captain Shreyas Iyer, Kolkata’s road to the IPL 2024 final could not have been more successful. They finished the league stage as table toppers, with 20 points in their bag and a record-breaking NRR of +1.428.

Then, in Qualifier 1 at Narendra Modi Stadium, they played against Hyderabad like men playing against boys. Riding on an exceptional performance from Mitchell Starc, coupled with the rest of his teammates, they bundled the Pat Cummins-led side for 159 in 19.3 overs before seeing off the target with eight wickets and 38 balls to spare.

Sunrisers Hyderabad

After a dominating start in IPL 2024, Hyderabad lost the plot in the middle of the competition, losing three of their four matches in between. However, Cummins showed no mercy to the opposition despite the setback, with Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma setting the stage on fire more often than not.

Mind you, Hyderabad suffered a humiliating defeat to Kolkata in Qualifier 1. That only makes them even stronger ahead of the final, as they seek revenge after thrashing Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 2. They lost to the Purple and Gold Brigade in the league stage as well, but nothing will matter if they win the ultimate battle when the stakes are high in Chennai on Sunday.

To turn it into reality, Cummins requires support from Head and Abhishek, while the likes of Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram, T Natarajan, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar among others, must chip in with useful contributions as well.

KKR Vs SRH: MA Chidambaram Stadium Pitch Report

There was little impact of dew in Chennai when Hyderabad faced Rajasthan less than 24 hours ago. As usual, spinners get a lot of assistance from this surface, while batters need to take some time to settle themselves in the middle. Swing bowlers can be influential here as well, although there have been quite a few occasions where we saw high-scoring affairs at this venue this season.
