The 2024 edition of the IPL will conclude with the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) taking on the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the final in the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The 2 captains of teams exchanged notes with each other ahead of the final. “Dear Pat! today, I thought it might be fun to drop you a little note. First off, let me just say you’ve done an amazing job leading the Orange Army this season. This season we have given you a tough time. Let me remind you, you faced the same opponent at a different venue. But today you will be against colours that will be familiar to you purple and gold. Here’s to a thrilling final. May the best team win, and by best, I mean ours,” KKR captain Shreyas Iyer’s note mentioned.

Both teams have faced each other on 2 occasions in the tournament ahead of the final. Although KKR has been victorious on both occasions, one of the games went down the wire. Fans can expect fierce competition. “Hey Shreyas, thanks for the little note. Kind of you. Indeed. You two have led by example in a lot of swag, but I can’t help but think about our stellar win at this very ground. I hope the KKR boys know what to expect. Come Sunday, you might say you’ve given us a tough time this season, but let me assure you the Orange Army has saved the best for last,” SRH captain Pat Cummin’s reply to Shyreas highlighted.
