IPL 2024: 5 heroes who took KKR to the final, Starc recovered the price, Shreyas’ captaincy innings

New Delhi. Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad in the first qualifier of IPL. KKR dominated from the first over to the last run of the match. In the match that lasted 33.1 overs, it did not seem anywhere that Sunrisers Hyderabad could win. When there is such a one-sided victory, every player must have contributed. Still, if we have to choose 5 heroes of victory, they would be these players.

1. Mitchell Starc’s havoc
KKR’s Mitchell Starc proved to be the most powerful player of IPL Qualifier-1. The most expensive player of IPL dismissed SRH opener Travis Head in his/her very first over. After this, he/she also dismissed Nitish Reddy and Shahbaz Ahmed in his/her third and fifth overs of the innings. Starc was chosen player of the match for this performance.
