KKR vs SRH Live Score, IPL 2024: Clash of IPL’s Costliest Cricketers as Knights Seek to Halt Sun’s Ascent

Now let’s get started. It’s time for the moment amusement of the Saturday doubleheader between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders, the ruling champions. As it were, three teams—two of whom are anticipated to light up Kolkata’s Eden Gardens—have won the IPL, aside from the Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings. KKR, the home team, is the second-most successful IPL team ever. Although they have won the title twice, in 2012 and 2014, they haven’t been able to maintain their success since then. As it were, one IPL last has been come to by KKR in the previous ten seasons, and that was in 2021. After losing the playoffs the previous two seasons, the two-time IPL champions, KKR, haven’t had the best of seasons.

However, a few pre-tournament shuffles this year seem promising for the team. Gautam Gambhir is back with his old team, first and foremost. Indeed. After giving up on his political career and spending two seasons coaching the Lucknow Super Giants, Gambhir is returning to the squad that helped him become an IPL superstar. With him returning, the camp believes that KKR will be able to relive their heyday of dominance. Under him, KKR won the IPL, defeating CSK and PBKS, the erstwhile Kings XI Punjab, in two different finals. With ten wins in a row, this team has the longest winning streak. There is nothing that can stop them if they manage to duplicate it this time.

Second, Shreyas Iyer has returned to the captaincy. Shreyas will assume the lead role following his absence from the previous season due to a back ailment, which allowed Nitish Rana to assume leadership. A fit-again Iyer demonstrated his body is ready for the rigors of the T20 league after suffering another physical setback when he crushed a good 95 for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy final. He will be under intense scrutiny following the Ranji vs. IPL drama. But really, Ranji and the IPL are two entirely different worlds. One is rock music, and the other is classical music, as AB de Villiers pointed out. However, very few people have mastered both, and Shreyas has all the necessary talents to do so. Oh, and let’s not forget Mitchell Starc, the most expensive purchase in IPL history.

He and the entire Indian population are both acquainted with his counterpart. The Pat Cummins. It was the second-most expensive IPL purchase ever made. Australia’s captain after winning the World Test Championship. The Indian hearts were broken by a World Cup winner. Far too soon? We are at fault. Nevertheless, nothing that is done to cover up what Cummins has accomplished in the past year will be able to be disguised. Despite his poor T20 record, it was clear from his impressive resume that SRH would name him their captain as soon as they invested ₹20.50 crore on him. Not everyone was happy with Cummins replacing Aiden Markram as the leader. After all, Cummins hasn’t yet proven himself as a T20 skipper, whereas Markram led SRH’s sister team, the Sunrisers Eastern Cape, to the SA20 championship last month. Everything you touch seems to turn to gold, though, especially after a year like Cummins’. And SRH has consistently adhered to that precise principle.
