In the history of IPL, this score is the lowest ever in a final. As the score above suggests KKR needed only 114 runs for the title. The battle is finally won as Shreyash Iyer-led KKR clinched the win by outclassing SRH in every department of the game. 

SRH hits all-time low

Sunrisers Hyderabad chose to bat first after winning the toss which turned out to be a bad decision. SRH faltered against KKR’s bowling attack led by Pat Cummins. The team was all out for just 113 runs. This is an IPL final record low score that surpasses Chennai Super Kings’ previous lowest of 125/9 against Mumbai Indians in 2013.

The journey to the IPL 2024 final

The grand MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai hosted the final battle. Both teams have had a long and hard road to reach this stage. Shreyas Iyer masterminded KKR’s campaign and topped the points table of IPL 2024. Under Gautam Gambhir as a mentor, KKR were looked upon as favorites for the title.

Pat Cummins captained Sunrisers Hyderabad, who also had a decent season. KKR emerged strong even after losing Qualifier One against SRH and clinched its berth in the finals. This has made quite a difference because of Cummins’ leadership and his current championship-winning form.
