IPL 2024: Only KKR will win the IPL 2024 trophy!
- An amazing combination is being formed with 400 runs and 14 wickets.
- Kolkata Knight Riders have qualified for the IPL 2024 playoffs
- They are the first team to achieve this feat this season
KKR has qualified for the IPL 2024 playoffs. It has become the first team to achieve this feat this season. After reaching first place in the playoffs, KKR now has a chance to win the IPL 2024 trophy. This coincidence is related to the figures of 400 runs and 14 wickets. Whenever such a coincidence has happened in the history of IPL, that team has become the champion.
Coincidence happened for the second time
However, such coincidences are rarely seen in IPL. This has happened only 4 times in 17 seasons of IPL. Now on the last 3 occasions this combination has made the teams champions. It remains to be seen what happens this time i.e. the fourth time? However, this coincidence has happened for the second time with KKR. Before IPL 2024, in 2012 also, the combination of 400 runs and 14 wickets had made Shahrukh Khan's team the champion. Then this team became IPL champion for the first time. This time he can win the IPL trophy for the third time.
Are 400 runs and 14 wickets a coincidence?
Before knowing when this has happened in the history of IPL, let us tell you what is the coincidence of 400 runs and 14 wickets? Actually, it belongs to a player of a team who has scored more than 400 runs and taken 14 or more wickets in the league season. In IPL 2024, Sunil Narine has so far scored 461 runs for KKR at a strike rate of 182.93 and taken 15 wickets at an average of 20.80.
When this coincidence happened in IPL, the benefit was seen.
Shane Watson was the first player in IPL history to score more than 400 runs and take more than 14 wickets. In the year 2008 i.e. the first season of IPL, Watson scored 472 runs and took 17 wickets. After this brilliant performance, his team Rajasthan Royals became the champion.
This happened for the second time after four years
Whereas in 2012, Jacques Kallis scored 409 runs at a strike rate of 106.51 and took 15 wickets at an economy of 7.46. Due to this performance of Kallis, KKR won their first IPL title that year. The third instance of a team player scoring more than 400 runs and taking more than 14 wickets happened in the year 2019. This year Hardik Pandya scored 402 runs with the bat and took 14 wickets. Due to this powerpack performance of Hardik Pandya, Mumbai Indians became the champion this year.
This coincidence will make KKR champion in IPL 2024
So just wait for IPL 2024 to end. Perhaps when this happens, the trophy will be in KKR's hands. Because, till now it has not happened in IPL that any player of any team has taken more than 14 wickets apart from scoring more than 400 runs and his team has not been able to win the title.
