Wasim Jaffer on KKR: Former Indian opener and current specialist Wasim Jaffer has credited his bowlers for the Kolkata Knight Riders’ title reign. 5 KKR bowlers managed to take 17 or more wickets in IPL 2024. This was the key to success for Kolkata this season. The title match was also dominated by KKR’s bowlers, which allowed them to bowl out a strong batting attack like Sunrisers Hyderabad for 113. KKR chased down this score by 8 wickets in the 11th over and captured the title for the third time.
Wasim Jaffer wrote on social media after KKR’s win, “5 bowlers with 17+ wickets, the secret to KKR’s success. Batsmen win you matches, bowlers win you tournaments. Shreyas Iyer’s brilliant leadership is also to be commended.” ”
The highest wicket taker in IPL 2024 for Kolkata Knight Riders was Varun Chakraborty who took a total of 21 wickets. Chakraborty was among the tournament’s select bowlers who took 20 or more wickets this season. Punjab Kings’ Harshal Patel is on top with 24 wickets, while Chakraborty is second and Mumbai Indians’ Jasprit Bumrah is third with 20 wickets.
Apart from Chakraborty, Harshit Rana also committed 19 murders. Andre Russell, who usually stays away from bowling, also did wonders this year and took a total of 19 wickets. Similarly, Sunil Narine took 17 wickets in his name. The return of Mitchell Starc, who gave runs in the opening matches, was also very good. He took 17 wickets and his performances were particularly impressive in the playoff matches. Vaibhav Arora supported all the bowlers in the team very well and took 11 wickets.
After this brilliant performance, Kolkata Knight Riders are being considered as the best bowling unit in the history of IPL.
