The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are ready to lock horns in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 final at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on May 26. The stage is set for both teams as they take on each other for the third time this season. In the previous two encounters, KKR emerged on top, handing SRH decisive defeats. However, the Pat Cummins-led side will look to take their revenge on KKR, and that too on the biggest of stages when they meet on Sunday.
On the other side, Gautam Gambhir and Shreyas Iyer will aim to win the third IPL title for KKR. Kolkata has won two titles previously under Gambhir's leadership in 2012 and 2014.
