Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) clinched the IPL title for the third time, first in 10 years as they beat Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the final by 8 wickets in Chennai on Sunday, May 26. KKR’s rather dominant run in the 2024 edition of the IPL ended with glory as the Shreyas Iyer-led side gave its fans much-needed joy after a decade-long drought for the title. Iyer, who had previously led the Delhi Capitals to their first final in 2020, brought the football flavour to the celebrations as he recreated Lionel Messi’s iconic FIFA World Cup celebration.
