Analysis
Kolkata Knight Riders have only lost three matches out of 15 before arriving to the grand finale of the IPL 2024, on the back of their big players, including Sunil Narine, Venkatesh Iyer, the captain Shreyas Iyer, Andre Russell, Varun Chakravarthy, and Mitchell Starc, stepping up to the plate at different stages of the tournament. There is a lot of strength and depth in the KKR lineup, including a plethora of all-rounders, who have made a telling difference with their quality performances in crunch situations.
Sunrisers Hyderabad is built in the image of their all-conquering leader Pat Cummins, who has galvanised the franchise the IPL 2024 after a disastrous season last year. The likes of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma have taken the T20 batting to the next level with their blitz hitting in the powerplay and beyond during the tournament, allowing the likes of Heinrich Klaasen and Nitish Kumar Reddy to consolidate their innings, while the bowling attack, including the captain Pat Cummins, T Natarajan, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar in particular, have been quite effective with the ball as well.
