Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) made history by securing their third Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 title in a commanding victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the final showdown at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. This marked KKR’s second triumph in Chennai, reminiscent of their initial title win in 2012 at the same venue, where they triumphed over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in a thrilling contest.

Following the triumph, KKR co-owner Shah Rukh Khan expressed his joy by personally congratulating each player on the field. The Bollywood icon also shared a memorable moment with Rinku Singh, ??capturing the spotlight amidst the celebrations.

What’s the God’s plan?

In the 31st match of the lucrative league, KKR suffered a defeat against Rajasthan Royals (RR), despite posting a formidable target of 223 runs. Following this disappointing outcome, Shah Rukh addressed his team in the dressing room, offering words of motivation to uplift the spirits of players disheartened by the loss. In his discussion, the seasoned actor emphasized that every setback was a part of ‘God’s Plan’ and assured the team that they would emerge stronger in the future.

“The main thing is the energy in all of us. I think we have great energy on the field, we have lovely energy here and personally also, everybody is bonding together. So please continue so. All the best. Honestly, it is a very proud day, the way we all played. I think all of us, I won’t even take individual names, that’s been taken. GG (Gautam Gambhir), don’t feel down. We would all be bouncing back. It’s God’s plan for today,” Shah Rukh said in the video.

Fresh off guiding his team, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), to a dominant victory in the IPL 2024 final, the Aussie pace maestro Mitchell Starc was quick to credit his wife, Alyssa Healy, for his recent success.

“Everything’s been better since Alyssa has turned up,” Starc declared, basking in the post-match glow. Notably, Healy, the Australian women’s cricket captain and wicket-keeper batter, arrived in India during the later stages of the IPL 2024 season.

Mitchell Starc’s devastating spell in the IPL 2024 Final

Starc was the undisputed star of the KKR bowling attack. His opening spell sent shivers down the spines of Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) batters. The left-armer started with a dream first over, consistently beating the bat or finding the edge of Abhishek Sharma‘s willow. The dismissal of Sharma in the fifth ball, with the white leather starting on middle and leg before deceiving him with its movement, was a pivotal moment. It echoed Starc’s heroics in the first Qualifier, where he dismissed Travis Head for a golden duck.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are experiencing an extraordinary season in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. Led by Pat Cummins, the team has advanced to the final of the lucrative lea??gue and is determined to secure the prestigio??us title.

With the final showdown between SRH and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) drawing closer, numerous sports personalities have offered valuable advice to both teams regarding their game plans and on-field strategies. Adding his insights to the discussion, Suresh Raina has also contributed suggestions for the 20??16 IPL champions.

Suresh Raina’s vital suggestion for SRH

During a discussion with Jio Cinema, Raina advised SRH to choose batting first in the game and set a formidable total. He highlighted the potential pressure KKR’s spinners could exert on SRH’s batters during 8 overs. The former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) player underscored Cummins’ proficiency as the team captain in implementing game strategies and handling the dressing room. Concluding his remarks, the 37-year-old stated that the Hyderabad players are well-aware of their roles, ensuring smooth organization during the match.

“Sunrisers should back their batting first approach and put runs on the board, but the eight overs of spin will be crucial. With KKR having won an IPL in Chennai, the pressure will be different. The key point for SRH is Pat Cummins who has already won the World Cup, he knows how to keep the dressing room running. You follow the process, you are switched on for the finals, the players know their roles, and everything will be organized,” Raina said on Jio Cinema, as ?quoted by Firstpost.

Shane Watson cites what advantage will SRH have in the Final

Joining Raina in the discussion, Shane Watson emphasized that SRH hold an advantage due to their familiarity with the conditions at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, enabling them to understand the pitch’s behaviour. The former Australian cricketer advised SRH to swiftly replenish their mental and physical energy during the game. However, Watson acknowledged that KKR possessed a higher likelihood of securing victory, given their lineup? comprising top-tier players.

“It gives Sunrisers an edge for sure as they know how the wicket plays, especially when there is no dew. They will have to back-up, and regenerate their mental and physical energy quickly, but for me, KKR are the favourites. They are fresh as a daisy; they have got world-class players through their team, and they are going to be very hard to defeat,” Watson stated.
