Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2024 final with an incredible eight-wicket victory. In contrast to Harshal Patel of the Punjab Kings, who took 24 wickets to win the Purple Cap, Virat Kohli won the Orange Cap award for his 741 runs scored.

On Sunday, May 26, Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad to win the IPL 2024 title. The highest award went to KKR, who won the championship for the third time in their existence. Sunrisers Hyderabad, who placed second, won INR 13 crore.

As anticipated, Sunil Narine, the premier all-around player for KKR, won Player of the Tournament for his season-long all-around excellence. With a strike rate of 180.74 and an incredible economy rate of 6.69 while taking 17 wickets, Narine had no trouble winning the coveted title.

The captain of Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Virat Kohli, won the Orange Cap for scoring the most, amassing 741 runs in 15 innings—158 runs clear of second-place finisher Ruturaj Gaikwad.

In the meantime, despite the terrible 2024 season for the Punjab Kings, Harshal Patel was awarded the Purple Cap. To create an impression, the right-arm bowler claimed 24 wickets in just 14 innings, three more than KKR’s spinner Varun Chakravarthy.
