• Kolkata and Hyderabad will compete in the final
  
• The match will be played at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai
  
• Shreyas Iyer also talked about his back injury
  

The final match of the 17th season of IPL will be played on 26 May at Chepauk Stadium in Chennai. Shreyas Iyer will be seen captaining the KKR team in this match. Before the start of this IPL season, Iyer was suffering from a back injury, which made his playing doubtful. However, with Iyer getting fit in time, he was seen taking over the captaincy responsibility for KKR. Shreyas Iyer will also become the first captain in the history of IPL to captain two different teams in the final match. Along with this, in the press conference held before the title match, Iyer also said a big thing about his back injury.

Nobody believed me

Responding to a question about his back injury during the final match of IPL 2024, Shreyas Iyer said that after the ODI World Cup ended, I was struggling a lot with this problem in the long format. When I expressed my views on this problem, no one believed me at that time, but at that time I was competing with myself. As the IPL was approaching, my focus was also on giving my best in it and whatever strategy we had made for this season, we have been able to implement it properly on the field and now our focus is completely on playing the final match

Iyer out of central contract

At that time, Shreyas Iyer was also dropped from the central contract list by the BCCI for not playing the Ranji Trophy match, after which there was a lot of discussion about his back injury. Iyer ruled himself out of the quarter-final match, but later played for Mumbai in the final against Vidarbha and scored 95 runs in the second innings as well. If we look at the performance of Iyer's bat in the 17th season of IPL, he has scored 345 runs in 13 matches at an average of 38.33.
