Google is renowned for producing imaginative and engaging doodles for noteworthy occasions. Google is commemorating the Indian Premier League’s 2024 season finale today. The brilliant and colorful artwork will be on display all day on Sunday at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai during the championship game between the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).
The doodle shows the famous Google logo encircled by pictures of KKR and SRH supporters anticipating the exciting conclusion. The doodle also features a giant ball, bat, and stumps in addition to the cricket pitch.
“This Doodle celebrates the final match of the 2024 Indian Premier League season, also known as IPL17 or TATA IPL 2024, taking place in Chennai,” Google said in an explanation of the doodle. There has been a lot of excitement surrounding this year’s tournament, and many people are excited to see which team will win.
“The tournament started with ten teams from all over India split into two different groups. Every team played a total of 14 games–seven home and seven away. After the group stage, the top four teams advanced to the high-stakes Qualifier and Eliminator stages. Through perseverance and teamwork, both teams have come out on top to face off in the IPL17 finals.”
In the IPL Eliminator, SRH defeated Royal Challengers Bengaluru and the Pat Cummins-led side followed it up with a comprehensive victory over Rajasthan Royals in IPL Qualifier 2 on Friday.
Kolkata Knight Riders topped the league stages with 19 points and then defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad in Qualifier 1 to comfortably book their spot in the IPL 2024 final. On the other hand, it has been a tough road for SRH who finished third in the points table despite showing a good run of form.
Notably, a Google Doodle is a thematic motif that is used by the search engine on its homepage to mark special occasions. Google has also used doodles to celebrate prominent people, their achievements, and more.
