Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) skipper Pat Cummins will get a chance to create history and equal MS Dhoni‘s record of winning both the ODI World Cup and the Indian Premier League (IPL) in a single cricket season as captain.
On Sunday, Pat Cummins-led Sunrisers Hyderabad will take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the final match of the IPL 2024 at MA Chidambaram Stadium here.
Dhoni won the ODI World Cup in 2011 and also the IPL title in the same season. On the other hand, Cummins led Australia to win the recently concluded 2023 ODI World Cup and will captain the Hyderabad-based franchise in the IPL 2024 final.
Dhoni won five IPL titles with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 2010, 2011, 2018, 2021, and 2023 seasons. While Cummins won one IPL title in 2014 with the Knight Riders.
KKR finished the league stage on the top of the points table with nine wins, three losses and two no results, giving them 20 points. They earned a direct spot in the final by defeating SRH in the qualifier one. SRH got a second shot at the title in qualifier two against Rajasthan Royals (RR) and they made the most of it by defeating the ‘Men in Pink’ by 36 runs.
