Sunrisers Hyderabad's Heinrich Klaasen almost pulled off a remarkable victory for his side before young Kolkata Knight Riders bowler Harshit Rana had the last word in a thriller at Eden Gardens on Saturday.
It was a phenomenal performance from young fast bowler Harshit Rana as he kept his calm and defended 13 runs in the final over to clinch the victory for Kolkata Knight Riders during the IPL 2024 match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Saturday. Rana was given the responsibility to bowl the final over of the match with Heinrich Klaasen in devastating form and the start was far from ideal. Klassen heaved Rana for a massive six over backward square leg and it looked like everything was over. However, the pacer conceded a single and followed it up with the wicket of Shahbaz Ahmed who tried to finish the match with a big six but ended up getting caught by Shreyas Iyer at long-on.
Kolkata Knight Riders owner Shah Rukh Khan was in attendance during his side's IPL 2024 match against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Saturday and his humble gesture has gone viral on social media. In a video that is circulating on social media sites, the Bollywood superstar can be seen making his own coffee at the VIP box of the ground. The video was captured during KKR's innings and fans are quite impressed with the humility of the star. SRK received a massive ovation from the crowd at the Eden Gardens ahead of the match and he responded by blowing flying kisses.
Andre Russell unleashed his fury with an unbeaten 25-ball 64 after Phil Salt's solid fifty as Kolkata Knight Riders overcame a sedate start to post an imposing 208 for 7 against Sunrisers Hyderabad in an IPL match on Saturday. Salt, who went unsold at the auction only to be named as a replacement for Jason Roy, got to his third IPL fifty in just 38 balls before being dismissed by Mayank Markande (3/39) while trying to accelerate. The Englishman made 54 off 40. Russell teed off against Markande when he launched the SRH leg-spinner deep into the stands -- three sixes in five balls. Markande for a moment thought that he had the last laugh when Aiden Markram took a blinder at long-on but replays showed he grounded the forward diving catch, giving Russell a breather on 20.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been an integral part of Sunrisers Hyderabad since joining the franchise in 2014 and the fast bowler is on the verge of a sensational record as his team takes on Kolkata Knight Riders in their first match of IPL 2024 on Saturday. Bhuvneshwar is just 4 wickets away from taking 150 wickets for Sunrisers Hyderabad and that will make him the first Indian bowler to achieve the feat for a single franchise in the league. Till now, only Lasith Malinga (Mumbai Indians) and Sunil Narine (Kolkata Knight Riders) have taken 150 wickets for a single team in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) vice-captain Nitish Rana is hopeful that star batter Shreyas Iyer can shrug off his injury concern and lead the franchise in IPL 2024. Iyer, who missed IPL 2023 due to injury, arrived at the KKR camp carrying a back issue. There has been rumours that Iyer might miss the first few games, with Rana set to lead KKR. Rana stepped up in Iyer's absence and led KKR. However, the two-time champions failed to qualify for the playoffs, finishing seventh in the points table.
India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has expressed his "shock" over SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH)'s decision to appoint Pat Cummins as captain. SRH sacked South African batter Aiden Markram after just one season, despite him leading their sister franchise, SunRisers Eastern Cape (SEC), to back-to-back SA20 league titles. SRH roped in Cummins for a price of INR 20.50 crore, before announcing that Australia's World Cup-winning captain will lead the franchise in IPL 2024. Ashwin revealed that he didn't saw the move coming, especially after what Markram achieved with SEC in the SA20 league.
