In the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, the manner in which Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have defeated Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) handsomely at their own home ground, they are being considered as a strong contender for the IPL 2024 title. . KKR has won eight out of 11 matches and is on top of the points table with 16 points. Sunil Narine has proved to be the trump card for KKR in IPL 2024. The way Narine is starting the innings, he is putting the opposition bowlers under a lot of pressure from the very beginning. Sunil Narine, who is wreaking havoc with the bat, has also shown excellence in bowling and that is why former South African captain Graeme Smith has named him the Player of the Season of IPL 2024 on the basis of the matches played so far.
Graeme Smith on Geo Cinema said, 'Whatever plan Lucknow Super Giants had made in this match, it did not seem to be implemented. He bowled length, half-volley and Sunil Narine took it around the ground and beyond the boundary line. Once he picks up the pace in his innings and settles down, he becomes very dangerous. He is full of confidence through good performances this season and there is no doubt that he has been the player of the season so far.

On Ramandeep Singh's performance, Smith said, 'It is fantastic… Ramandeep, 25 runs in 6 balls, one four, three sixes, how good is this? Just in the end, it was a brilliant innings and he finished the innings strongly with power all around the ground. To be able to do that at the end of an innings is a special talent.

Brett Lee expressed his views about KKR fast bowler Harshit Rana, 'He clearly did a great job, didn't he? He took 3 wickets for 24 runs in 3.1 overs. His economy rate was fantastic, but it was his aggressive style of bowling. He bowled some great bumpers, he bowled good lines and lengths, and also showed that he has a good change of pace, which goes along with it.'
