Rinku Singh, a hard-hitting batter, expressed his excitement and fulfillment at winning the title with KKR, a team that has supported him for seven years. Despite not having his best personal performance, Singh’s contributions over the years made him a deserving champion. “Outstanding feeling right now. Dream has come true – I have been here for 7 years and we are so happy. Credit to GG sir. I will finally lift the IPL trophy. It was God’s plan,” Rinku told the broadcasters after the match.

KKR batter Nitish Rana also reflected on Gambhir’s fierce determination, recalling a conversation they had before the IPL 2024 season. “When Gautam Gambhir was signed as our mentor, I had congratulated him on WhatsApp. I wrote a long message to him, and he thanked me, but he also said he’ll be the happiest when we’ll lift the trophy at the podium. Today is that day, and I’ll remember that message forever,” Rana said.

In the final match, KKR delivered an outstanding performance to secure their third IPL title. The KKR bowlers dominated the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), restricting their batting lineup to just 113 runs. In response, KKR chased down the target in only 10.3 overs, with eight wickets to spare, sealing their place as champions once again.
