    We're just waiting for the trophy lift and presentations at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

    Meanwhile his compatriot and international captain Pat Cummins couldn't stem the KKR tide, going for 18 runs from his two overs - although he did take the wicket of Sunil Narine.

    If it's any consolation, he did manage to top score for SRH in the first innings. But you need more than 24 runs from your number nine to win an IPL final.

    Mitchell Starc became the most expensive player in IPL history when he was bought by KKR in the IPL auction late last year.

    He took 2-14 from his three overs in this final, an economy rate of 4.67.

    Worth every rupee?

    Pretty much every member of a gleeful KKR side is lining up to be interviewed by the TV broadcasters.

    Each one getting their moment, there's a lot of slapped backs and arms around shoulders - a great team spirit.

    Kolkata Knight Riders bowler Andre Russell: "I don't have the words to explain right now, it means so much with all the fans supporting us throughout since the start of the season and we as the players going game after game and getting the job done.

    "All of us were disciplined and just wanted the same goals. This franchise has done so much for me, helping with my fitness. this is a big gift to all of them, so I'm so happy."

    KKR topped the regular season table and they backed their record in this final, blowing SRH away for a mere 113.

    Pat Cummins and his bowlers faced a near impossible task, but might not have expected to be taken apart in a little more than ten overs.

    KKR have absolutely thumped the Sunrisers for the victory.

    The title is KKR's!

    A tad inauspiciously, Shahbaz Ahmed's delivery takes Ventakesh Iyer's inside edge and does enough to beat keeper Heinrich Klaasen, running away for the winning single.

    A mass of purple shirts race onto the field to claim stumps and leap around with abandon.

    Scores level.

    Shreyas Iyer drops a single into the covers.

  14. KKR 112-2published at 10.1 overs

    Almost a chance?

    Ventakesh sweeps Shahbaz Ahmed uppishly, the ball lands just short of the diving Rahul Tripathi coming in from the square boundary.

    Two runs away.

    The win doesn't come up in this over.

    KKR can only take three singles, the final one, a cut to deep cover, bringing up Ventakesh Iyer's fifty.

    Aiden Markram here to bowl what may well be the final over.

    Ventakesh clubs his first ball into mid-wicket for two, then can't get his next two deliveries away.

    Gurbaz lbw b Shahbaz Ahmed 39 (KKR 102-2)

    Hmm, touch shambolic.

    The technology is down so third umpire Michael Gough can't do anything to review the decision, so Gurbaz is sent on his way.

  20. Umpire reviewpublished at 8.5 overs

    A fly in the ointment for KKR?

    Rahmanullah Gurbaz has been given out lbw on the sweep.

    It was a late call, a lot of the fielders thought the ball had run away for four leg byes.
