IPL 2024: Pietersen, Hayden extends support to KKR for winning the title

Kevin Pietersen and Matthew Hayden

KKR are better equipped to lift the IPL trophy against SRH because of a superior spin attack, reckon Matthew Hayden and Kevin Pietersen.

KKR had trumped SRH in league stage matches and it will give them an edge going into Sunday's summit clash, they say. "I'm very confident that KKR are going to win here," Hayden told Star Sports.

"I also feel that the quality spin of [Sunil] Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy on the red clay is going to make a difference."

Former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen too believes KKR are front-runners to win the IPL crown this time. "I didn't like the way the Sunrisers threw in the towel the other evening in Ahmedabad, and I think it's going to put them on the back foot for the start on Sunday."
