Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) exchanged blows in Qualifier 1 of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024), at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, on (Tuesday) May 21. SRH won the toss and opted to bat first. KKR bowlers exerted dominance against a strong Hyderabad batting lineup. On the back of a half-century from Rahul Tripathi and a late onslaught from Pat Cummins, SRH posted a below-par 159 losing all their wickets.
Chasing a gettable target KKR openers provided a solid start but failed to keep going. Venkatesh Iyer and Shreyas Iyer notched up half-centuries each and took the team to the finals of IPL 2024. KKR chased down the target in just 13.4 overs and eight wickets to spare. On the other hand, SRH will play Qualifier 2 on May 24 and await their opponent until then.
Let us take a look at the highlights from KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1 match:
1. Mitchell Starc sends Travis packing on a duck
Mitchell Starc found his mojo at the right time in IPL 2024. He bowled the first ball of the innings and extracted some swing. He made use of that tool and dislodged Head’s wicket on the subsequent delivery. The fuller delivery that swung outward after pitching did the trick for KKR.
Starc sets the tone for Qualifier 1 with a ripper! 🔥#IPLonJioCinema #TATAIPL #KKRvSRH #TATAIPLPlayoffs #IPLinBengali pic.twitter.com/3AJG5BvZwT

2. Dejected Rahul Tripathi sheds tears on the staircase
Rahul Tripathi looked in great touch as he held on to the other end as wickets fell in quick succession. He notched up his 12th IPL fifty and was eying for a big score. But a miscommunication between him and Abdul Samad cost him his wicket as he was run out. He was seen as devastated and was in agony sitting on the staircase.

3. Shreyas Iyer takes KKR into the Finals with a six
Shreyas Iyer took charge of KKR’s innings after the openers were back in the hut. Travis came out to bowl the 14th over when Kolkata needed 18 runs to win. Iyer smashed the first four deliveries for 22 runs and the last maximum sealed KKR’s spot in the finals of IPL 2024
