Mitchell Starc spearheaded KKR's bowling attack, dismantling SRH's top order with two wickets in the powerplay. The procession continued with the fall of wickets at regular intervals, with Andre Russell claiming the crucial wicket of Aiden Markram.
His experience provided valuable guidance, evident in decisions like promoting Sunil Narine as opener, creating a potent batting line-up. This strategy resulted in a formidable KKR that lost only three matches on their journey to the final.
Respect for @SunRisers. One bad game doesn't define the exceptional season you've had in any way. Some unforgettable performances, and a top #TATAIPL2024 season for the men in orange 🧡 https://t.co/mSyf4T5M8p

SRH, on the other hand, embraced an aggressive style. They redefined ‘fearless cricket’ in the IPL, shattering records with the highest ever tournament scores on multiple occasions. Their investment in Pat Cummins, the inspirational leader and one of the world's best captains, has paid off handsomely.
