In a fiery encounter between Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad, KKR emerged victorious and secured their spot in the IPL finals. SRH, faced with a target of 160 runs, faltered under the pressure and were unable to contain the powerful hitting duo of Venkatesh and Shreyas Iyer from KKR. This marks KKR's fourth time in the IPL finals, showing their determination and skill in the current season.
With the conclusion of IPL 2024, Gujarat Titans' captain Shubman Gill emerged as the top scorer in the league with 890 runs, earning him the coveted Orange Cap.

RCB's Virat Kohli, who currently holds the Orange Cap for this season, will face off against Rajasthan Royals' Riyan Parag on Wednesday in the Eliminator.
Heavy rain at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium resulted in the IPL match between KKR and RR being abandoned. The toss was delayed for over 3 hours and 30 minutes and the match was reduced to a 7-over-a-side game. The no-result means that RR finishes at third spot in the points table, setting up an Eliminator clash with RCB in the upcoming IPL 2024 playoffs.
