Match Result
Kolkata Knight Riders won by 8 wickets in just 11.1 overs — one of the most dominant finals performances in IPL history. KKR's third title and their first since 2014.
SRH's Stunning Collapse
Sunrisers Hyderabad — who had been the most explosive batting side of IPL 2024 — collapsed completely in the final. Their fearsome top order of Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen all failed, leaving Pat Cummins as their top scorer with 24. It was a stunning reversal for a team that had set multiple batting records during the season.
Venkatesh Iyer — Final Destroyer
Venkatesh Iyer's 52 off 27 balls was one of the great finals innings — attacking, fearless, and perfectly timed. He set up the chase with Gurbaz before KKR cantered to their third title. His strike rate of 192 in a final speaks to the complete domination KKR showed on the day.
KKR's Bowling Masterclass
KKR's bowling attack — led by Mitchell Starc, Harshit Rana and Sunil Narine — completely dismantled SRH's vaunted batting lineup. The Chennai surface assisted spin and seam equally, and KKR exploited conditions perfectly to restrict the tournament's highest-scoring team to just 113.
