Kavya Maran, the owner of Sunrisers Hyderabad, addressed the team in the dressing room, saying, “You all have made us proud. This season, you have showcased excellent performances. You have demonstrated to everyone how T20 cricket should be played. Everyone is talking about us. Today was just a bad day. You all performed well with both bat and ball. Last season, we finished at the bottom of the points table. This season, you have shown your potential. The fans came out in large numbers to support us.

Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Batting Failure
In the IPL 2024 final, Sunrisers Hyderabad decided to bat first after winning the toss, which proved to be a wrong decision. None of their strategies worked in the final. The team couldn’t even complete their 20 overs and were all out for just 113 runs. Captain Pat Cummins was the top scorer for the team with a contribution of 24 runs, while the rest of the batting lineup failed miserably.
KKR’s Dominant Performance
KKR’s bowlers put up a tight bowling performance. Mitchell Starc took three crucial wickets and was awarded the Player of the Match for his brilliant performance. Additionally, Venkatesh Iyer scored a half-century, making 52 runs, and Rahmanullah Gurbaz added 39 runs. KKR’s all-round performance secured their victory and the IPL 2024 title.
Despite the heart-wrenching defeat, Kavya Maran’s words of encouragement and the team’s journey to the final were commendable. The Sunrisers Hyderabad players and their fans can take pride in their performance and look forward to coming back stronger next season.
