With confidence and good spirits, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are getting ready to take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 final. Simon Helmot, the assistant coach, has expressed faith in captain Pat Cummins’ leadership and the team’s steady approach.
In Qualifier 2, SRH defeated Rajasthan Royals by a commanding 36 runs, and they intend to maintain that momentum going into the final. With assurance, Helmot declared that the team must adhere to their ideology, as they have done throughout the season, which has led them to this point.
“We have to adhere to our core values. We have been doing it for the entire season, which has led us to where we are at this point. At the news conference following the game, Helmot stated, “We won’t be changing our approach for the championship,” as cited by the Times of India.
Rahul Tripathi maintained that today, and I’m really proud of how the squad handled that under duress. Throughout the inning, he, Trav, and Klaasen kept up that pace,” he continued.
On Sunday, the decisive game is scheduled to go at Chepauk. Rahul Tripathi, Travis Head, and Heinrich Klaasen led the SRH batting trio in a 175/9 score that demonstrated their skill. Then, their bowlers held the Rajasthan Royals to 139/7, demonstrating that the total was adequate.
Helmot complimented the team’s pitch evaluation and tactical execution after the victory. Even though they most likely lost an extra wicket, he said the wicket appeared decent. He emphasized that their bowling strategy in the second innings depended heavily on their comprehension of the slower off-cutters and bouncers.

“The slower bouncers and off-cutters began to function as the inning went on. We found out about it in the second inning.In order to perhaps elicit a response, we intended for the ball to become slightly older and be bowled forcefully into the wicket. Of course, the spin also played a part.
Helmot also gave praise to Abhishek Sharma and Shahbaz Ahmed, the spin duo, for their crucial roles in winning the win.
“The skipper deserves all the credit. He made choices when he thought the universe was in a spin-friendly state.At the time, he thought that a left-arm orthodox spinner would be a suitable alternative, as there were two right-handers. Regarding Abhishek, it could have been his instinct, and if so, what a great choice that was as it altered the course of the match.
“Dan and Pat get along well and are open to trying out new concepts. We witnessed it today when they allow the players to do what they choose on the field.”
