This triumph marks a nostalgic repeat of their first championship win at the same venue 12 years ago against Chennai Super Kings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final, held on Sunday, was dominated by KKR. After SRH captain Pat Cummins chose to bat first, KKR&#8217;s bowlers swiftly dismantled the top order. Mitchell Starc made an immediate impact by bowling out Sharma in the opening over. Vaibhav Arora continued the assault by claiming Head&#8217;s wicket and sending him back for his third duck in the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SunRisers Hyderabad struggled throughout their innings, ultimately setting a record for the lowest score in an IPL final, managing only 113 runs in 18.3 overs. The chase was brisk for Kolkata, highlighted by Venkatesh Iyer&#8217;s explosive half-century off just 24 balls, propelling KKR to an easy victory and marking their third win against SRH in this&nbsp;season&nbsp;alone.<\/p>\n<div class='saic-wrapper saic-default saic-comments-closed saic-border' style='overflow: hidden;'><div class='saic-wrap-link'><a id='saic-link-25065' class='saic-link saic-icon-link saic-icon-link-true auto-load-true' href='?post_id=25065&amp;comments=0&amp;get=30&amp;order=DESC' title='0 Comments'><i class='saico-comment'><\/i><span>0<\/span> Comments<\/a><\/div><!--.saic-wrap-link--><div id='saic-wrap-commnent-25065' class='saic-wrap-comments' style='display:none;'><div id='saic-wrap-form-25065' class='saic-wrap-form saic-clearfix'><div class='saic-form-avatar'><\/div><div id='saic-container-form-25065' class='saic-container-form saic-no-login'><p>Comments are closed<\/p><\/div><!--.saic-container-form--><\/div><!--.saic-wrap-form--><div id='saic-comment-status-25065'  class='saic-comment-status'><\/div><ul id='saic-container-comment-25065' class='saic-container-comments saic-order-DESC ' data-order='DESC'><\/ul><div class='saic-holder-25065 saic-holder'><\/div><\/div><!--.saic-wrap-comments--><\/div><!--.saic-wrapper-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a commanding performance at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) clinched their third IPL [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":25067,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[97,113],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25065","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-smartphones","category-sport","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25065","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=25065"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25065\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25068,"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25065\/revisions\/25068"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/25067"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=25065"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=25065"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=25065"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
