Kolkata Knight Riders (Team News)
Kolkata Knight Riders who are in the form of their lives and the strongest teams in the season, will face Sunrisers Hyderabad (RCB) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai on Sunday, May 26, in the IPL 2024 Final. If the KKR top-order struggles, Andre Russell's prowess against most of SRH's bowling attack will be crucial for the two-time champions.
Russell has dominated Bhuvneshwar Kumar, scoring 97 runs off 37 balls in the IPL. Against Natarajan, SRH's standout bowler this season, he has hit 43 runs off 26 balls. Jaydev Unadkat has also faced Russell's wrath, conceding 24 runs in just 9 balls.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (Team News)
SRH brought back Aiden Markram after the first qualifier to add stability to their batting in case of a top-order collapse. Markram's numbers against Varun Chakravarthy, a 20-wicket spinner for the second season in a row with a commendable economy rate (8.15 and 8.19), make him a key option once again.

This match will test Cummins's ability to manage his bowlers. KKR has left-handers at the top (Narine) and in the middle (Venkatesh Iyer and Rinku Singh), limiting Cummins's use of Abhishek Sharma and Shahbaz Ahmed, who were match-winners two days ago.
He might need to find opportunities with two right-handers in the middle to bowl an over or two from either, while the quicks handle the bulk of the work. Nitish Reddy’s bowling could also be called upon.

Pitch Report: MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai
Run scoring in Chepauk has been challenging this season, while some pitches have produced runs, they others have helped the bowlers a lot. It will be interesting to see how the pitch plays today in this high octane final. The uncertainty of dew. It stayed away just two nights ago in the second qualifier but what transpires on Sunday is unknown.
Even Pat Cummins admitted there wasn't a way of making an educated guess about its arrival or otherwise. The final will be played on pitch #4, a red soil wicket. It's the same pitch where CSK lost to PBKS at the start of this month, with Punjab's spin pair of Harpreet Brar and Rahul Chahar picking 4 for 33 in 8 overs between them. On that day, PBKS were assisted by Dew in their chase of CSK's 162/7.
