Kolkata Knight Riders and fans around the world were thrilled as Sunil Narine showcased his incredible batting against Delhi Capitals at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Wednesday (April 3), thrashing them by 106 runs.
KKR’s batting started off really strong, mainly thanks to Narine and a young player named Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who hit 54 runs in just 27 balls in his very first IPL match. On the other hand, Narine showed off his amazing batting skills on the field. He scored 85 runs in only 39 balls, hitting seven big sixes and seven fours.
Narine got to fifty runs in just 21 balls, proving how talented he is at batting. Together, they made 104 runs, helping KKR reach a total of 272/7. That’s just five runs less than the highest score ever in the IPL.
Delhi Capitals tried really hard to catch up with KKR’s big score, but it wasn’t easy. Even though their captain Rishabh Pant and Tristan Stubbs played well and scored 55 and 54 runs respectively, DC couldn’t keep up. They only managed to score 166 runs in 17.2 overs.
In the bowling part, Vaibhav Arora and Mitchell Starc did great for KKR, taking wickets early in Delhi’s innings.KKR’s big win, thanks to Narine’s amazing batting and Raghuvanshi’s debut, shows how strong they are under Gautam Gambhir’s guidance. This win puts KKR at the top of the IPL table, proving they’re a really strong team in the tournament.
On April 8, they are scheduled to play against CSK at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. CSK will be aiming for a victory as they seek to bounce back from their recent loss against DC in their previous IPL match.
