Kolkata Knight Riders became the first team to qualify for the IPL 2024 final when they beat Sunrisers Hyderabad in Qualifier 1.
This is KKR’s fourth summit clash appearance in the history of IPL. The Purple and Gold had earlier reached the final on three occasions – 2012, 2014 and 2021.
KKR’s first IPL title came in 2012 when they defeated Chennai Super Kings by five wickets at the Chepauk. Gautam Gambhir was the then-KKR skipper.
Two years later, KKR once again became the champion under the leadership of Gautam Gambhir. This time they beat Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings).
KKR reached the final for the third time in 2021 but lost to Chennai Super Kings by 27 runs.
If Kolkata Knight Riders become champions in IPL 2024, it will be Gautam Gambhir’s third IPL title with the franchise.
Gautam Gambhir joined KKR ahead of IPL 2024 as a mentor to the franchise.
