Two of the most impressive teams of Indian Premier League 2024 will fight it out for the top prize on Sunday after Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Rajasthan Royals in the second qualifier on Friday.
The final of the Indian Premier League, 2024, will be played between Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad (KKR vs SRH) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, on May 26 at 07:30 PM IST. In their previous encounter in Qualifier 1, Mitchell Starc was the Man of the Match as he scored the highest fantasy points for Kolkata Knight Riders with 99 points while Rahul Tripathi topped the fantasy points leaderboard for Sunrisers Hyderabad with 80 points.
Multiple Grammy-winning rapper Drake placed a massive USD 250,000 (around Rs 2.07 Crore) bet on Kolkata Knight Riders to defeat Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2024 final on Sunday. The Canadian musician, who regularly places bets on various sporting events around the world, took to social media platform Instagram to share a picture of the receipt. This was the first time that Drake placed a bet on any cricket match. The post quickly went viral with users commenting on the rapper's betting record.
Sunrisers Hyderabad decided to cancel their practice session on Saturday ahead of the IPL 2024 match against Kolkata Knight Riders, according to a report by Hindustan Times. SRH defeated Rajasthan Royals comprehensively in Qualifier 2 to book their berth in the summit clash against KKR at the Chepauk Stadium on Sunday. SRH opted to go with a rest day after playing their last game on Friday and they will play directly in the summit clash. With Chennai experiencing high temperatures and humidity, the decision was taken to keep the players fit.
The IPL 2024 final is here with Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad looking to end their impressive campaigns on a high. While it has been a pretty straightforward road for KKR who topped the league stage and won their Qualifier 1 match, SRH registered consecutive victories over Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Rajasthan Royals to book their spot in the final. While all eyes are on the high-profile encounter, concerns remain over Cyclone Remal playing a pivotal role in the proceedings.
Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has slammed Rajasthan Royals (RR) youngster Riyan Parag for throwing away his wicket in the crucial IPL 2024 Qualifier 2 match against SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Friday. Parag scored just six runs off 10 balls as he was dismissed by SRH's impact substitute Shahbaz Ahmed. Chasing 176, RR did not score a single boundary in 22 balls before the in-form decided to take on Shahbaz. However, Parag top-edged his shot that went straight up to Abhishek at deep mid-wicket.
Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper Pat Cummins said on Friday that it was a gratifying experience to see the team turn around its fate and reach the IPL final after a disastrous 2023 season. SRH had finished at the last spot in 2023 but Cummins, who was roped in for a whopping Rs 20.50 crore, scripted a sensational turnaround for the franchise, taking the team to the final with a 36-run win over Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 2 on Friday. "The boys have been fantastic all season. There's a great vibe in the squad as you can see and the final was the goal at the start of the season and we made it," Cummins said at the post-match presentation.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru's quest for their maiden IPL trophy still continues as they lost against Rajasthan Royals in the Eliminator of IPL 2024 and were knocked out of the tournament. RCB, who started their campaign with seven defeats out of eight matches, won six games on trot and entered the Playoffs. However, they failed to cast their magic in the Eliminator against RR and lost the game by four wickets. Former India batter and Kolkata Knight Riders mentor Gautam Gambhir stated that RR's fearless approach turned out to be a game-changer for them.
