Kolkata Knight Riders won their first Indian Premier League title in a decade as they stalled this season's batting dynamos Sunrisers Hyderabad before motoring to an eight-wicket victory in the final. Sunrisers had struck three of the four highest totals not only in this year's competition but in all IPLs, as they racked up a tournament-record 287 as well as 277 and 266 across March and April. But they were rolled for 113 in 18.
Sunrisers slipped to 21-3 inside five overs and continued to stutter thereafter, with the 2016 champions grateful for Pat Cummins' 24 from the No 9 spot for taking them into three figures. Kolkata have also thumped big scores in the IPL this term, with a best of 272-7 against Delhi Capitals, but their bowlers' sterling working against Sunrisers meant they were only chasing a small target.
