Kolkata Knight Riders clinched their third Indian Premier League title after dismantling the batting powerhouse of Sunrisers Hyderabad for only 113 runs. They went on to win the final by eight wickets with 57 balls to spare. There were vividly contrasting emotions for two Australians. Mitchell Starc, the Knight Riders’ paceman, took early charge of proceedings and was later named man of the match.

They beat Hyderabad both in the league stage and also in the qualifier before routing Cummins’ side in a one-sided final. “This is what we demanded from the players and they stood up,” Kolkata captain Shreyas Iyer said. “It’s difficult to express the feelings, so much to cherish right now.
