Here are the Highlights of KKR vs SRH IPL 2024, Qualifier 1 match -
- 22:59 (IST)KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1 Live Score: What V Iyer siadMore than the confidence I was really wanting to go out and bat, we last played a game on 11th, so we all were eager to go out and showcase our talent. The wicket was really good. In a tournament like this, momentum is really important, we have seen RCB winning their matches and gaining the momentum even we wanted that momentum, so we wanted to go out and wanted the rain to stop but it was disappointing. But, we were the table toppers and we have got a lot of support from the management. It is always special for players like us to play in the IPL final, it’s a dreamy moment for us, going to Chennai and looking forward to it. We were raring to go out there, when you have the momentum you want to really go out there. You saw Rinku fielding in hot spots and taking those catches, it’s the excitement we have to go out there and perform.
- 22:55 (IST)KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1 Live Score: Cummins after the matchYeah we will try to put this behind quickly, good thing we will have a crack at it (second qualifier). You have those days in T20 cricket where things doesn't quite work out. We weren't where we wanted with the bat and obviously couldn't do much with the ball. Felt that extra batting was important (picking the impact sub) on this wicket. Thought KKR bowled really well, there was a little bit in it early on and the surface got better. We all have played enough cricket, and going to a new venue (Chennai) helps us as well, so we gotta keep this behind and move on. (edited)
- 22:47 (IST)KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1 Live Score: Kolkata Knight Riders have done it!6,6,4,6,6 - Those were the last five balls of the match as Venkatesh Iyer and Shreyas Iyer both slammed half-centuries to guide KKR to a 8-wicket victory over SRH. KKR qualify for the IPL 2024 final while SRH will get another chance in Qualifier 2.
- 21:41 (IST)KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1 Live Score: What Starc saidI have been fortunate enough to play on some big occasions, nice to get our team off to a good start, we know how SRH matched us in terms of attacking with the bat in the powerplay. Their (Head and Abhishek) partnership has been the key for them and to get both of them out cheaply, it's really pleasing. The wicket's got a bit skiddier and there is some swing as well, I feel the wicket will get better with dew and the powerplay will be really key for us.
- 20:28 (IST)Shreyas Iyer's captaincy has come under the scanner as Klaasen and Tripathi fight back for SRH. Shreyas decided to not make Starc complete his overs and instead gave the ball to Russell and Narine. The move has not worked till now and the commentators were not convinced by the decisions.
- 20:10 (IST)KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1 Live Score: Cometh the hour...Cometh the hour, cometh the man! Mitchell Starc needs no introduction when it comes to what he can do but this season has been a bit disappointing. But three wickets till now in this match proves once again why he is considered to be a world-class cricketer.
- 19:53 (IST)KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1 Live Score: DRS blunderA dangerous yorker from Mitchell Starc and it hit Rahul Tripathi's pad first before hitting his bat. However, KKR players including Starc were not convinced and they ended up not opting for the review. Replays show that Tripathi was out and this is a huge lifeline for SRH.
- 19:40 (IST)KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1 Live Score: Instant fightback?The Travis Head wicket was a setback but SRH are playing in their own trademark fashion. Couple of boundaries off Mitchell Starc by Rahul Tripathi and it looks like they are going to attack from the first over irrespective of the situation.
- 19:23 (IST)KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1 Live Score: Big testBoth KKR and SRH have opted for no changes in their playing XIs but it is still the first time that Rahmanullah Gurbaz will play for KKR in IPL 2024. Phil Salt was preferred as the wicket-keeping choice till now and with him leaving and KKR not playing the last two matches due to rain, it is going to be a tough test for Gurbaz.
