WATCH - Shreyas Iyer to bowl in IPL 2024 Final? KKR captain practices like Sunil Narine ahead of SRH clash

Kolkata Knight Riders are going to go one-on-one against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Final of the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, on May 26 (Sunday). Ahead of the big clash, KKR captain Shreyas Iyer was seen in a new bowling avatar during the practice session.

Shreyas Iyer imitates Sunil Narine's bowling action

Shreyas Iyer has only bowled one over throughout his IPL career and watching him bowl in the practice session made fans question if he will bowl against SRH. KKR posted the video of Iyer bowling from their official handle which is now going viral across social media.

However, it appears as if Iyer was just trying to imitate Sunil Narine's bowling action. It would be very unlikely if Iyer is seen with the ball in the much crucial clash. 

This will be the third time KKR and SRH clash against each other this season and the Knights have already won the previous two clashes and they will become an IPL champion for the third time if they win this third clash as well. On the other hand, Hyderabad would like to avenge their previous two losses and get their hand on their second IPL title/
