With the crucial encounter on the horizon, KKR will be eager to secure a win in the championship decider. Conversely, SRH will be determined to topple their opponents and seize the IPL title. In the midst of the mounting anticipation for the clash, Shreyas Iyer and Pat Cummins shared a humorous moment as they embarked on a ride together in an autorickshaw.

Prior to the highly anticipated match, the two captains participated in a mandatory photoshoot with the IPL trophy at Chepauk beach. The pair showcased their authentic selves in a delightful video released by the IPL, where they were spotted enjoying a ride in an auto rickshaw.
The video captured lighthearted banter between the star players, with Iyer reminiscing about his early days riding auto rickshaws and humorously demanding a fare of INR 20 crore from the Australian cricketer.

Will Cummins be able to justify his price tag?
Bought by SRH for a staggering INR 20.50 crore in the mini-auction of the cash-rich league, Cummins swiftly assumed the captaincy reins of the side. Despite lacking prior experience in leading a T20 team, the 31-year-old has maintained his stellar form and guided SRH to their first IPL final in six years. Cummins has emerged as the second-highest wicket-taker for his team in the current season, claiming 17 scalps, and has also made valuable contributions with the bat. Should SRH secure the coveted league title, Cummins will undoubtedly validate his significance for the team and justify his price tag.
