The most important day of the record-breaking tournament that lasted for about 66 days has arrived. The 17th season of the IPL will end today. In today's final, two-time (2012, 2014) champions Kolkata Knight Riders will face 2016 champions Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Chepauk Stadium in Chennai. This will be the 74th and last match of IPL 2024.
If we leave out the year 2022, then from IPL 2017 to 2023, either the Mumbai team or Chennai Super Kings has become the champion. In 2022, the Gujarat team has won. This will be the second time after 2016 that we will get a new champion after Mumbai and Chennai. The final match will start at 7.30 pm. Therefore, a reserve day has also been kept on May 27. Last time the champion was decided on the reserve day itself. However, there is no possibility of rain in Chennai this year. In such a situation, an exciting match can be seen between Kolkata and Sunrisers today.
While on one side there will be the Knight Riders of skilled cricket strategist Gautam Gambhir, on the other side there will be Pat Cummins' army. Shreyas Iyer, who is going to play his second IPL final, is seen in a supporting role in this great match. Aham Vishal is looking serious from the dugout. Before reaching the final as the captain of KKR this season, Shreyas had reached the final as the captain of Delhi Capitals in 2020.
