New Delhi. There are only a few hours left to get the winner of Indian Premier League 2024. The name of the winner of the tournament can be confirmed tonight. If the rain does not interfere and the match can be played, then everyone will enjoy the match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad. By the way, many people know how the winner of the tournament will be decided in case of rain, while many people are unaware of it. So we give this information to all of you.
The Kolkata Knight Riders team has shown excellent performance in this tournament so far. With the arrival of new mentor Gautam Gambhir, the team has looked in a completely new color. The team won 9 out of 14 matches but two matches could not be played due to rain. The team topped the points table with 18 points from 9 wins and 1 point each from two cancelled matches, making a total of 20 points. One match of the Hyderabad team was cancelled and it got 8 wins. The team was second in the points table with 17 points.
KKR will become champion without playing a match
At this time, everyone’s eyes are on whether it will rain during the match or not. Before the final, Kolkata’s team was not able to practice due to rain. The good thing is that there is less chance of rain during the match. If it rains, the match can go on the reserve day the next day. If there is rain on this day as well, then there will be an attempt to have a match of at least 5-5 overs. Otherwise, the result will be decided through a super over. If all these options fail, then Kolkata, which is at the top of the points table, will be declared the winner without playing the match.
Who has how many IPL titles to his name

Hyderabad won its first title in 2016 by defeating Royal Challengers Bangalore under the captaincy of David Warner.
