The Unique Aspects of the IPL 2024 Final Between KKR and SRH in Indian T20 Cricket

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 final is set to be a unique showdown between the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), as none of the players from either team are part of the Indian squad for the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. This marks a departure from the norm, as usually IPL stars feature prominently in the national team.

The only exception is Rinku Singh from KKR, who is part of the travelling reserves for the World Cup and will join the Indian team after completing his IPL commitments. However, none of the other domestic stars from either team made it to the final 15-man squad selected by the Ajit Agarkar-led selection panel.

The complete squad for both teams reflects the talent on display in the IPL, with players like Shreyas Iyer, Andre Russell, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar showcasing their skills in the tournament. Meanwhile, the Indian team for the T20 World Cup, led by Rohit Sharma, includes stalwarts like Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, and Rishabh Pant.

As the Indian players gear up to depart for the USA, where they will kick off their campaign against Ireland on June 5, fans are eagerly anticipating the action-packed tournament. With matches against Pakistan, USA, and Canada also on the cards in the group stage, India will be looking to make a strong start and secure a spot in the Super 8s.

The IPL final between SRH and KKR promises to be a thrilling encounter, with both teams eager to claim the title and make a statement ahead of the T20 World Cup. It will be a clash of the titans, with players showcasing their skills and staking their claim for a spot in the national team in the future.
