KKR’s Fortress Captain Shreyas Iyer: ‘We Are Unconquerable Throughout IPL 2024’

Following the KKR’s IPL 2024 victory, Captain Shreyas Iyer made a declaration that was not hyperbolic but rather an official declaration. This season, the Kolkata Knight Riders were not just the league champions but also an unbreakable wall.

A stunning 113 runs was all that KKR’s bowlers needed to show off their skills in the grand final at MA Chidambaram Stadium. With devastating spells, Andre Russell, Mitchell Starc, and Harshit Rana led the charge. Russell (3-19), Starc (2-14), and Rana (2-24) made sure SRH never got a foothold.

Captain Shreyas Iyer’s Remarkable Words

“We played like invincibles throughout the season. Every person stood up at the perfect time, and the emotions are difficult to describe.” Iyer said.

“The coaching staff’s plans, combined with players’ abilities to stand up in critical moments, created a winning formula for our team.”

An Aura of Invincibility

It’s no small accomplishment to lose just three games in a season full of intense competition. This incredible feat was accomplished by KKR, based on the tenacity of a historical strengthening. KKR’s bowling attack was the tournament’s most formidable weapon. Mitchell Starc, the fiery left-arm pacer, emerged as the hero in crucial moments.

Remember his spellbinding performance in the final, where his dismissal of Abhishek Sharma set the tone for dismantling the SRH batting line-up? Starc’s redemption arc – overcoming a sluggish start to become Player of the Match in both playoffs – is a story in itself.

Another name that made opponents shudder was Andre Russell, the Barbadian behemoth. His “magic wand,” as Iyer referred to it, was a reliable source of important discoveries. His match-winning ability was demonstrated in the final by his stunning 3/19 spell.

However, KKR’s bowling ability was not a one-man show. The depth and balance of the team were demonstrated by the regular contributions of crucial wickets from players like Vaibhav Arora and Harshit Rana. The chase was as remarkable, as an eight-wicket triumph in just 10.3 overs was secured by Venkatesh Iyer with a scorching 52 off 26 balls.

It was a team that performed as a whole, with one member balancing the other. Iyer’s admiration for his team’s work ethic and unwavering support for one another shows this close friendship. Beyond winning the title of champion, KKR’s IPL 2024 victory also signified preserving their position as the league’s top team.

They returned to the top and sealed their place in IPL history after a ten-year absence. Shreyas Iyer’s aim of playing competitive cricket while also developing an excellent culture bodes well for the franchise’s future.
