Kolkata Knight Riders became the champions of IPL 2024 after a stunning campaign. They were simply sensational in all facets of the game right from the start of the tournament. The Shreyas Iyer led side had one of the most destructive batting line up in the tournament. They delivered in style with the openers Phil Salt and Sunil Narine destroying the bowling attack. They struggled with the bowlers at the start of the tournament. However, slowly they came back to form and in the playoffs and final, the bowlers were sensational. They won their third IPL titles and their first since the year 2014.
The final of the IPL 2024 took place between Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunirsers Hyderabad. KKR registered a comfortable victory against Pat Cummins’ side in Chennai. However, KKR’s premier pacer and the costliest player in IPL history, Mitchell Starc, was very much frustrated with the delay in the start of the post-match presentation. The post-game presentation took two hours to start after the game was finished and Starc felt that the joy and the celebration mood of winning the trophy was lost by the delay.
Starc also revealed the first reaction that the youngster Angkrish Raghuvanshi had after witnessing the prize money that KKR was set to get.
Mitchell Starc Slams BCCI And IPL With Some Stern Complaints
“Any chances of presentation, you ask? Well, two hours later. The game finished at 10PM and the presentation hasn’t even started by midnight. It killed the vibe. We’re sitting down and young Anky [Angkrish Raghuvanshi] who is our No. 3; he sees the winner’s cheque coming. The team got ₹20 crore for winning the final. And he goes ‘Huh! It’s not even what you got paid’,” Starc said on the LiSTNR Sport podcast.
Mitchell Starc was wayward at the start of IPL 2024. He was not finding his rhythm. However, as the tournament progressed, he found his mojo back. In the playoffs and the final, he was sensational with the ball. In the final in Chennai, he sent back the in form Abhishek Sharma with a peach of a delivery. Starc took 17 wickets in IPL 2024.
