The KKR vs SRH match was one-sided, the victory clinical, and it embodied one thing — Team Spirit. With this win, KKR have become the third team, after CSK and MI, to win three IPL titles. In 2012, on this very ground, Gautam Gambhir had established his credentials as an astute captain, leading KKR to their maiden title.
