Star-studded support for KKR - Shah Rukh Khan & family, Juhi Chawla, Ananya Panday, Sanjay Kapoor and more enjoy at Chepauk

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) may have lost the toss, but they got what they wanted - to bowl first in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 Final against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). And surely KKR made the most of it as they restricted SRH to just 47 runs and dismissed their top 4 batters in 7 overs.

As of writing this article, things have not been going in SRH's favour as they lost five wickets in 11 overs with just 70 runs on the crease. 

Abhishek Sharma was bowled for 2 by Mitchell Starc while Travis Head departed for a duck after facing just one ball by Vaibhav Arora. Rahul Tripathi could not weave his magic as he departed for 9 off 13, while birthday boy Nitish Reddy was dismissed for 13 off 10. Aiden Markram, who tried stabilising the innings scored 20 off 23 before being sent back.
