- Starc's swing ball is considered the best ball in IPL
- I have never seen Starc swing the ball like this before: Pietersen
- KKR won the trophy in IPL 2024
Shreyas Iyer-led KKR defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by eight wickets to win the IPL 2024 title. In this match, the bowlers and batsmen performed brilliantly for KKR. In the final match, Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins won the toss and decided to bat first, but the team was all out for just 113 runs. After this, KKR achieved the target thanks to Venkatesh Iyer's half-century. In this match, Mitchell Starc has taken three wickets for KKR. Now Matthew Hayden has said a big thing for him.
Matthew Hayden gave this big statement
Former Australian batsman Matthew Hayden called Mitchell Starc's outside swing to Abhishek Sharma in the IPL final as the 'best ball of IPL'. Abhishek Sharma got out after being slipped from Mitchell Starc's hand on Hayden's ball. He was sure to get the best ball of IPL. A very brilliant ball which was very important at that time.
Sunil Narayan was praised
Kevin Pietersen said that we never saw Starc swing the ball in the first eight weeks of the tournament but in the last few weeks he improved his wrist position and started swinging the ball. Pietersen also praised Narine and said that the veteran KKR player has given a befitting reply to his critics. He said that at the beginning of the tournament I was one of his biggest critics and was saying that I do not like Sunil Narine in the top order because his performance is not consistently good. However, this season he has performed consistently well. He used to think like a batsman, bat like a batsman and score runs like a batsman.
The KKR team has won the IPL trophy for the third time. Earlier, KKR won the IPL 2012 and 2014 titles under the captaincy of Gautam Gambhir. Every move of KKR was successful in the final match. Under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer, KKR has performed well in IPL 2024 and the team has qualified for the playoffs by finishing first in the points table.
