KKR vs SRH, IPL 2024 Final: Shreyas Iyer Takes Hilarious Dig At Pat Cummins Over Rs 20.5 Crore Price Tag
In a hilarious incident ahead of the IPL 2024 final between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer took a cheeky dig at SRH captain Pat Cummins over his hefty Rs 20.5 crore price tag.
During a photoshoot for the IPL trophy, which involved a visit to the Marina Beach and an auto ride, Iyer recalled his own experiences riding autorickshaws during his younger days. He then jokingly charged Cummins Rs 20 crore for the auto ride, a playful reference to the all-rounder's expensive acquisition by SRH in the IPL 2024 auction.
The comment left both players in splits and brought a light-hearted moment to the occasion. Iyer also inquired about Cummins' time with KKR, who had won the IPL title in 2014.
KKR secured their place in the final after topping the points table at the end of the league stage and defeating SRH in Qualifier 1. On the other hand, SRH fought back from their defeat against KKR to emerge victorious over Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Eliminator and Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 2.
The highly anticipated summit clash between KKR and SRH promises to be a thrilling encounter, with both teams boasting a talented squad of players. The match is scheduled to take place at the iconic Chepauk Stadium in Chennai.
