'Congratulations KKR': Netizens Declare Kolkata As Winners After SRH Lose Early Wickets In IPL 2024 Final

KKR vs SRH, IPL 2024 Final: Even as much of the cricketing action is yet to unfold, netizens reckon Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have already sealed it with the way they have started in the contest.

KKR vs SRH, IPL 2024 Final: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have got off to a great start in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 final at the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday (May 26). SRH won the toss and chose to bat first. However, KKR were right on the money with Mitchell Starc dismissing Abhishek Sharma in the first over itself.

Even before SRH could start a recovery, Vaibhav Arora got rid of the other Hyderabad opener Travis Head for a golden duck. Starc returned to remove Rahul Tripathi to put Hyderabad completely on the backfoot. It was the wicket of Abhishek though that went viral instantly with the left-arm speedster getting one to swing late and hit the top of off stump.
