The Knight Riders were crowned the Indian Premier League champions for the third time in history on Sunday, May 26. KKR blew SunRisers out of water in the most one-sided IPL final, bowling Pat Cummins's side out for 113 and chasing the target down with 57 balls and 8 wickets to spare at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. KKR's all-round dominant show also saw the IPL 2024 final becoming the shortest title match played in the tournament in terms of the number of overs played.

Shreyas Iyer became only the second KKR captain to win the IPL title after Gautam Gambhir (2012 and 2014), who was in the dugout on Sunday as a proud mentor. In fact, Iyer is only the fifth Indian captain after MS Dhoni, Gambhir, Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya to lead a team to victory in an IPL final.

KKR reaffirmed their status as one of the most successful IPL teams. With the third title in their bag, the Knight Riders are only being CSK and Mumbai who have five titles each.

On the other hand, Pat Cummins suffered his first defeat in a major tournament final in more than a year after leading Australia to the World Test Championship and the World Cup final.
