It’s the ultimate day for which every cricket fan has waited.

Right now, KKR is in the driving seat with their bowling excellence and SRH is struggling to get every single run. With each bowl, a new twist unfolds for all spectators who witness today for the finale.
Harshit Rana Dismissed Nitish Reddy:
On the last delivery of the seventh over, Nitish Reddy faces Harshit Rana’s cunning change of pace. After luring Nitish with a trio of slower deliveries, Harshit unleashes the perfect away swinger. Landing on off-stump, it subtly moves away. Caught off-guard, Nitish remains rooted on the back foot, anticipating another slower ball. As he shapes up for a drive, the ball takes the edge, nestling safely into Gurbaz’s gloves. It’s déjà vu for Nitish as Gurbaz claims his second catch of the night. With this dismissal, KKR asserts their dominance, firmly holding the reins of the game. Nitish Reddy departs for a brisk 13 off 10 deliveries, including a boundary and a maximum.
Nitish Reddy’s brief stint at the crease saw him accumulate 13 runs off just 10 deliveries, showcasing glimpses of his attacking prowess. With a solitary boundary and a six to his name, Reddy exhibited a penchant for aggressive strokeplay. However, his innings was cut short prematurely as he fell victim to a well-disguised delivery from Harshit Rana, adding another wicket to the tally and further consolidating KKR’s dominance in the match.
