Kolkata Knight Riders finished atop the points table with nine wins in 14 matches while two of their games were abandoned due to rain. KKR had already defeated SRH in the league stage and secured another victory over them in Qualifier 1, earning their spot in the final. They will aim to replicate a similar performance and outshine SRH in the grand finale.

Meanwhile, the SunRisers Hyderabad finished second in the 2024 IPL points table, securing eight wins in 14 games. Despite an eight-wicket loss to KKR in the Qualifiers, they bounced back strongly in Qualifier 2, defeating Rajasthan Royals (RR) by 36 runs.

The upcoming final will be KKR’s fourth final appearance, having won the IPL twice before, while SRH will compete in their third final, with one title to their name.

On that note, here are the three players you could pick as the captain/vice-captain for the KKR vs SRH final Dream11 match.
