Kolkata Knight Riders: Former England cricketer and ex-Rajasthan Royals member Graeme Swann named Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) as his favourite to win the final of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 saying "they have all the areas covered."

The IPL 2024 has reached its end stage of the tournament as Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) marched into the final, beating Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by eight wickets in Qualfier 1 at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. In Eliminator 1, Rajasthan Royals (RR) knocked out Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the same venue to face SRH in the Qualifier 2 at MA Chidambaram Stadium on Friday.

"KKR are the one who will lift the trophy in the finals from what I can see, as they have all the areas covered out, be it batting, bowling or fielding, they have dominated this season of IPL and with Gautam Gambhir as their head coach they are the best," said Swann told IANS.
