Venkatesh Iyer made easy work of their modest target, remaining unbeaten on 52* off 26 deliveries, to help Kolkata ease through to a victory.

SRH Manage Lowest Total Ever In IPL Final
SRH only managed to post 113, which happens to be the lowest total posted ever in an IPL final. The target was chased down by KKR in 10.3 overs with 57 balls to spare in arguably the most one-sided IPL final ever. Every bowler used by KKR found himself amongst the wickets with Andre Russell finishing with figures of 3/19 in 2.3 overs. Harshit Rana too picked 2 while Varun Chakarvarthy, Sunil Narine and Harshit Rana had a wicket to their credit to go with Starc's brilliance at the top.
