Talking about the final match, Kolkata-based franchise bowled out SRH for just 113 runs at M.A. Chidambaram (Chepauk) stadium in Chennai. It was the lowest innings total in the final clash in the history of the tournament.
IPL's most expensive buy Mitchell Starc was in lethal form in the final. He picked two wickets in three overs he bowled and conceded 14 runs. The left-arm pacer was awarded player of the match. Sunil Narine was awarded player of the tournament for his all-round performance throughout the season.
"This is what we demanded from the team and every individual. They stood up to the right occasion and the feeling is hard to express. It (wait) was so long, longer than the match. We played like invincibles throughout the season. There's so much to cherish right now. It is pleasing, the performance has been flawless throughout. I am running out of words right now," KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer had said after lifting the title.
