Kavya Maran was in tears after the game. — (@cricfootadnan) Maran has been one of the biggest supporters of the side throughout the IPL 2024. O Saunday too, she was in the stands.
However, tears rolled down her eyes as KKR players celebrated their victory. Despite the tears, Maran heaped high praise on her players and clapped for their performance in this edition. Having lost the toss, KKR produced a clinical effort with the ball to dismiss SRH for 113, the lowest ever total in an IPL title clash.
KKR chased down the target of 114 with as many as 57 balls to spare. Mitchell Starc (2/14), Andre Russell (3/19) and Harshit Rana (2/24) were the most successful bowlers for the Knight Riders, as SRH simply failed to turn up for the big game. Opting to bat first, SRH were off to a disastrous start as they lost their top guns Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head with just six runs on the board, with the latter getting dismissed for a first-ball duck to a beautiful outswinger.
