[PICTURES/VIDEOS] Kolkata Knight Riders crowned champions of IPL 2024 after defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad by 8 wickets

[deltexas]

Also timid defensive captaincy from Shreyas. He should have finished 4 overs of Starc. If Starc got Klaasen it was game over..

SRH 115/5 after 13 overs against KKR.

 

[RamLakhan]

KKR has one grip over the title (they must surely be in finals! I don't think SRH has the bowling to counter-attack!)

 

[Devadwal]

The BCCI will plant 500 trees for each dot ball bowled in IPL 2024 Playoffs

 

[Champ_Pal]

KKR has one grip over the title (they must surely be in finals! I don't think SRH has the bowling to counter-attack!)

160 could've been defended on this pitch. SRH has the bowling to do it. But they look like they are 30 runs below par.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Venkatesh Iyer is such a treat to watch when he gets going.

Sunrisers Hyderabad 159

Kolkata Knight Riders (13.4/20 overs) 164/2

KKR won by 8 wickets (with 38 balls remaining)

 

[Cricket Warrior]

Venkatesh Iyer and Shreyas Iyer both slammed half-centuries as Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by 8 wickets to reach the IPL 2024 final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Earlier, Mitchell Starc took three wickets, Sunil Narine took two, while Andre Russell, Vaibhav Arora, Harshit Rana, and Varun Chakravarthy claimed one each to bundle out SRH for 159. Rahul Tripathi was the top-scorer for SRH with 55.

Damn that was a hammering we received from kkr! Sharing kavya's pain

RCB is batting first after losing the toss! Not sure what is better on this pitch!

 

[Human786]

RR bowling . 47c high during the day & at 1900 hours , still 40c . crazy heat !

 

[FearlessRoar]

RCB vs RR, Eliminator at Ahmedabad

Toss Update:

Rajasthan Royals elect to bowl against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

 

[RamLakhan]

It will take a heck out of RCB to win this match (previous match and WC Finals are evident why its easier to bat 2nd on this pitch...) Anyways they have already done a tough job overcoming CSK in a crunch game (which they mostly faltered in the past), so it might be not that extremely difficult to get over RR who are not in form...

[Human786]

red soil pitch where even the crappy GT scored 231 .

 

[RamLakhan]

RCB just need to be cautious in between aggression in these initial overs... It may not be a 60 in 6 overs kind of pitch (in first innings), but they should make it count in the middle and slog overs... They should be happy to be at 40/0 in 6 overs...

 

[Human786]

17 in 3

 

[Champ_Pal]

Avesh Khan is trash.

 

[Human786]

rubbish Avesh ki pitai ho rahi hai . 17 in this over

 

[Human786]

super Boult bowling his 3rd ....

 

[Champ_Pal]

Harsha Bhogle says RCB is on fire. They are going at 8 RR

This sucking up to Kohli is cringe.

 

[Human786]

37/1 Faffed- super catch

 

[Champ_Pal]

rubbish Avesh ki pitai ho rahi hai . 17 in this over

No improvement in his bowling. He looks chubby and his action is awkward. It is unfortunate that he has represented India many times before. He is not good enough to be on the D-Team.

 

[Human786]

super Boult bowling his 3rd ....

3-0-6-1 absolute star

 

[Human786]

No improvement in his bowling. He looks chubby and his action is awkward. It is unfortunate that he has represented India many times before. He is not good enough to be on the D-Team.

he is our Hasan Ali , only saving grace being he does not spit around as much . Green at 3 - surprised ....

 

[Human786]

50/1 in 6

 

[RamLakhan]

Not a bad powerplay (50/1)... Should still aim for 200+

 

[RamLakhan]

he is our Hasan Ali , only saving grace being he does not spit around as much . Green at 3 - surprised ....

Holding Patidar to counter spinners...

 

[Human786]

Holding Patidar to counter spinners...

good point but Green must not play the anchor role [ 3 off 6 ] , 56/1 in 7

 

[Human786]

off topic , this Puro ad running non-stop through IPL telecast , like the way this babe Keerthy bobs her head around - pretty lady . Chahal on

 

[Champ_Pal]

A very poor start for RCB. No demons in the wicket. Still only scoring at 8 RPO.

If not for Avesh Khan's trash bowling, RCB would be going at 6 RPO.

 

[Human786]

56/2 OUT VK

 

[Champ_Pal]

Chahal flukes another wicket. That should have been deposited in the stands.

Now Chahal will flex his pencil muscles.

 

[Human786]

unless Maxi does something extraordinary , RCB done imo .

 

[RamLakhan]

good point but Green must not play the anchor role [ 3 off 6 ] , 56/1 in 7

Probably was worried about even the 2-3 balls left off Boult (sometimes you may get out the very next ball. Green been an Aussie they felt probably could negotiate it)

 

[RamLakhan]

Patidar may feel the heat of expectations today (real knockout game)

 

[RamLakhan]

They should have sent Lomror instead of Green...

 

[Human786]

Green pulverizing Chahal 11 in 3

 

[Champ_Pal]

They should have sent Lomror instead of Green...

Don't worry. Chahal will go for 50 runs in his 4 overs. He will cover up for all dots that Green might play.

 

[Human786]

76/2 in 10 - par score ? remember dew ...

 

[AAli98]

Son of Jor-El drops a sitter

 

[Champ_Pal]

Jurel is a choker. Being a keeper, he should be good at catching.

 

[emranabbas]

Jurel just dropped the ipl

 

[RamLakhan]

Patidar is totally off-color today!

 

[RamLakhan]

That should give some confidence...

 

[Champ_Pal]

Patidar is totally off-color today!

Avesh will boost his scoring rate.

 

[RamLakhan]

These Aussies know how to play in knockouts!

 

[Human786]

94/2 in 12

 

[Human786]

innings run range appears to be around 185 mark . adequate ?

 

[Human786]

97/3

 

[RamLakhan]

Maxwell should come now

 

[Human786]

97/4

 

[RamLakhan]

They should have seen off Ashwin

 

[RamLakhan]

RR's game to lose from now on...

 

[RamLakhan]

RCB over celebrated the last victory!

 

[Champ_Pal]

Chahal as usual is getting spanked.

I hope he does not play a single game in the T20 WC for India.

 

[Human786]

19 run over 116/4

 

[RamLakhan]

RCB should pounce on this over as well (Avesh)

 

[Human786]

Chahal as usual is getting spanked.

I hope he does not play a single game in the T20 WC for India.

His selection is a mystery - Avesh ko fir 6 pada
& out 122/5

 

[RamLakhan]

That is a gift! RCB lost their way...

 

[FearlessRoar]

RCB doing RCB things

 

[RamLakhan]

This is UAE kind of pitch/condition! Bat second and win the game!

 

[Human786]

122/6

 

[Human786]

122/6

DRS - got saved 122/5

 

[ChennaiFan]

RCB over celebrated the last victory!

I saw some video where they behaved badly with some CSK fans. I was rooting for RCB to win the title this season mainly for Kohli. After seeing the rude behavior of RCB fans, I changed my mind.

 

[Human786]

125/5 in 15

 

[RamLakhan]

I think DK was hoping for ball tracking (and not edge)

 

[Ali Active]

DRS - got saved 122/5

bat hit the pad it was out

 

[RamLakhan]

RCB batting exactly like India in WC Finals...

 

[Human786]

Would you be disappointed if your last name was Lomror ?

 

[Human786]

134/5 - 24 balls left

 

[RamLakhan]

Boult spell was the key (up front), he avoided at least 20 runs in the powerplay...

 

[RamLakhan]

Don't see any bowler in RCB who can match Boult. Swapnil is the only one who can come bit close, but spinner in powerplay against dew it will be really hard... RCB miss a good frontline overseas seamer as they always do!

 

[Human786]

144/5 in 17

 

[RamLakhan]

180-190 will give fair chance for the teams... Anything below that it will make RR the favorites! KKR or SRH would have fancied chasing even 200+ against RCB bowlers on this pitch! But with RR there is slight chance!

 

[Croma]

RCB batting exactly like India in WC Finals...

Is it the same pitch? It definitely the same conditions. Even SRH were crushed by the conditions yesterday

 

[FearlessRoar]

Maybe Hotspot technology should be mandatory in every cricket tournament now

 

[RamLakhan]

DK lets down when it mattered! Thank God he is not in WC Squad...!

 

[FearlessRoar]

RCB's hopes of big score are over.
