Team Analysis
Pat Cummis will lead SRH in the finals to face two-time champions, KKR. Numerous factors will aid SRH in fulfilling their dream of securing the IPL 2024 Champions title. The Hyderabadi team features a lethal top-order batsman, Travis Head. Head had one of his best IPL seasons as he smashed 567 runs at a strike rate of 192.20 in just 14 innings. With support from his fellow teammates like Heinrich Klaasen and Abhishek Sharma, SRH have shown to utilize the power play optimally.
The light should also be shed upon the SRH’s spin duo, Shahbaz Ahmed and Abhishek Sharma. Both these spinners worked their magic in the latest qualifier against RR to take crucial wickets at the right time while simultaneously ensuring that the runs conceded were kept to a minimum. Other Hyderabadi players who are expected to shine in this final are Pat Cummis, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Natarajan. Perhaps, the only weak link for SRH in this finale is to their inability to take control over their nerves and limit the opposing team in the death overs. SRH is known to bowl poorly in the last 5 overs which has often becomes the reason for their defeats.
KKR’s skipper Shreyas Iyer is himself expected to showcase his destructive batting nature in this last, but without any doubt, the most important clash of IPL 2024. Although Shreyas has piled up 345 runs in this IPL season, a commanding yet comprehensive knock from the Kolkata captain is still missing. Maybe, Iyer is waiting for the finals to unleash his batting talents.
Another asset for the Knight Riders is none other than Sunil Narine, the West Indian batsman who has provided undeniable stability to KKR’s top order. Varun Chakravarthy and Mitchell Starc are two other important impact players for KKR in this grand finale. KKR’s weak and inexperienced fast-bowling unit is led by Starc. However, the lack of matching-turning pacers might prove to be costly for KKR in this match of immense significance.
