Fans laud Shreyas Iyer after KKR win IPL 2024 final

This win was particularly significant given the historical context. Pat Cummins, leading the Australian cricket team, had previously silenced the Indian crowd by defeating India in the ODI World Cup final in Ahmedabad last year. Before that match, Cummins had remarked, "there is nothing more satisfying in sport than silencing a big crowd," a statement that left a lasting impression on Indian fans.

In a remarkable turn of events, Shreyas Iyer managed to turn the tables in the IPL 2024 Final. His strategic acumen played a crucial role in dismantling the Sunrisers Hyderabad's batting line-up, restricting them to a mere 113 runs. KKR's bowlers delivered a stellar performance, setting the stage for an easy chase.
