In final of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins won the toss and elected to bat against Kolkata Knight Riders at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday (May 26). Sunrisers were expecting to win their second title, that too under the captaincy of yet another Australian, Pat Cummins. The only IPL trophy SRH won came during the captaincy of David Warner in 2016.
Battle of tacticians: Gambhir vs Cummins
The IPL 2024 final is not only a final being played between two teams, but it is also a clash of two master tacticians -- KKR mentor Gautam Gambhir and SRH captain Pat Cummins.
Marquee sporting clashes always pit one leader against another but this IPL final will be about Gambhir's brain, which is always ticking against a captain who has transcended boundaries to turn into a leader of men.
Somewhere along the line, KKR's Shreyas Iyer, who is playing his second final as captain, has turned into bit of a side-show as a global cricketing royalty in Cummins faces an IPL czar in Gambhir.
A decade ago, no one would have placed a bet on Cummins being a captain and winning the ODI World Cup, World Test Championship and Ashes in a space of six months, and now, leading SRH to their maiden IPL title would be the icing on the cake.
