KKR 114-2 (10.3 ovs) SRH 113 | Scorecard

Getting back Gautam Gambhir has worked wonders for KKR as they get back to winning ways after a long wait of 10 years.

He captained KKR to their first two IPL titles in 2012 and 2014 before returning as the mentor to guide them to their third IPL triumph.

KKR dominated the league stages with nine wins from 14 games with two of their matches washed out.

They trounced SRH by eight wickets in the Qualifier 1 match and repeated that margin of victory in the final.

Sunil Narine was the star performer with the bat, smashing 488 runs from 15 games at a strike rate of 180, with a century and three fifties. He also claimed 17 wickets at an economy rate of 6.69.

Spinner Varun Chakravarthy led the bowling charts for KKR with 21 wickets at an economy rate of 8.04, while pacers Harshit Rana and Andre Russell bagged 19 wickets each.

Mitchell Starc came to the fore when it mattered the most! He excelled with the ball in the knockout games, to finish with 17 wickets, while Vaibhav Arora got 11 wickets.

Phil Salt missed out on the play-offs as he went back for national duty but he left a big impression, striking 435 runs in 12 games at a strike rate of 182, with four fifties.

The Iyers -- Venkatesh and Shreyas -- contributed with 370 and 351 runs respectively, while all-rounder Russell slammed 222 runs at a strike rate of 185.
