Kolkata Knight Riders all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer played a crucial role in his side`s third IPL title win with an unbeaten half-century against Sunrisers Hyderabad at Chennai`s Chepauk Stadium on Sunday.

Continuing his fine show in the knockout stages of IPL 2024, Venkatesh in the final scored 52* in 26 balls, with four boundaries and three sixes, with strike rate of 200.00 accelerating KKR`s easy run chase of 114 runs and ending it within the first half of the innings itself.
