Imperfect Shot From Venkatesh Iyer In Near-Perfect IPL 2024 Final For KKR Takes Them Across The Line Vs SRH- WATCH WINNING MOMENT
Venkatesh Iyer hit the winning runs in KKR vs SRH IPL 2024 final which was not from the middle of the bat but helped them get across the winning line nonetheless after a near-perfect IPL game for KKR.
Venkatesh Iyer hits winning runs, KKR vs SRH IPL 2024 final: Venkatesh Iyer scored the winning runs for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 final against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday (May 27). SRH may have won the toss and elected to bat first but other than that, rarely anything went as per the plan.
While they were clinical on the field as a team, in the run chase, Venky Iyer scored a blistering half-century (52* off 26) to take off any pressure whatsoever and came back only after he had hit the winning run. Even though most of his shots came off the middle of the bat, it was an inside edge off Shahbaz Ahmed that helped Venkatesh Iyer get across the winning line, ironic but effective nonetheless as they got to their target with 57 balls remaining.
The video of the winning moment went viral on social media:
