Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) annihilated SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) by eight wickets to secure their third Indian Premier League (IPL) title at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday (May 26). Led brilliantly by Shreyas Iyer, SRH were never allowed to be in the contest and eventually suffered one of the most humiliating defeats in IPL final history.
While KKR fans were ecstatic, the neutrals were left disappointed as the final turned out to be a drab affair. Some called it the most boring IPL final, while others were happy that Pat Cummins had finally lost a final.

KKR fans thanked Gautam Gambhir for returning to the team and helping instil the champion’s mentality once again.
SRH won the toss in Chennai and skipper Cummins chose to bat first. It all went downhill for SRH from that point as Mitchell Starc dismissed Abhishek Sharma with a ripper in the first over itself.
The slide didn’t stop there as Rahul Tripathi departed in the powerplay as well with the scoreboard reading 40/3 at the end of six overs.
Heinrich Klaasen did attempt to resurrect the SRH ship but Harshit Rana got the better of him. Cummins smashed a few at the death after getting a reprieve but could only push his team to 113 which turned out to be the lowest total in an IPL final.
