After some pulsating contests all season, we have our two finalists-Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad, who will go at it against each other to lift the IPL 2024 title. Season 17 of the Indian Premier League will always be remembered for the excitement it garnered, specifically because of the explosive brand of cricket played throughout the competition and it is only fitting that the two teams which epitomized that approach in IPL 2024 find themselves in the final, one step away from claiming the title. Kolkata Knight Riders have been the most consistent outfit in IPL 2024, with the team finishing on top of the points table with 20 points. The Shreyas Iyer-led outfit further asserted their dominance when they trounced Sunrisers Hyderabad with relative ease in Qualifier 1, booking a spot in the final.

Gautam Gambhir's return has worked wonders for the Kolkata Knight Riders as they get set to compete in their fourth IPL final. It will also be a golden opportunity for Shreyas Iyer, who not long ago lost his BCCI contract, to win the IPL and remind the decision-makers of his skills, especially with the captain's hat. Sunrisers Hyderabad on the other hand, have staged a remarkable turnaround to find themselves in the IPL 2024 final after having finished right at the bottom of the pile last year. A change of guard saw Pat Cummins take over the reins of the side and the move has turned out to be nothing less than an absolute masterstroke.

Cummins, with his golden touch, has reached yet another final and a win will add to his storied rise as one of the greatest and most decorated leaders in the modern-day game. For Sunrisers Hyderabad, it is a final which has come after six years, their last outing in an IPL summit clash being way back in 2018 when they had lost to CSK. KKR are in their fourth IPL final as compared to SRH's third, with their last appearance in this stage being in 2021 where they too, coincidentally, lost to CSK. KKR would gun for a third title which will complete the story of Gambhir's return to the franchise as a mentor. A win for SRH on the other hand will add to Cummins' growing legacy as captain and give him a lot of confidence ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.
