Should Sunil Narin be considered one of the greatest all -rounders in T20 cricket history?
Delhi captain Axar Patel was sent to bat first, KKR left for a blazing bench to a courtesy woman. West Indian scored 27 off just 16 balls, including two sixes and two fours, with Rahmanullah Gurbaz (26 runs 12) to stitch an initial stand of 48 runs in just three overs. Youngster Angkrish Raghuvanshi (44 out of 32) and Rinku Singh (25 to 36 runs) directed the innings to help the KKR Post in 204 for 9 to 94.
Who is that IPL player?
Defending the clan, the woman once again reached the occasion. In an important mantra, he removed Exer Patel (43 for 23) and the dangerous finisher Triston Stabs in the 14th over, such as proceeding to chase Delhi. He dismissed the FAF Do Placeis (62 runs in 45) set in the 16th over, effectively sealed the competition. Nerin ended with 3 for 29 and was named as a match player.
Considering the victory and his milestone, Narin said, “It was a total team’s attempt. I still return myself to come back and distribute. There are sports where you do not start well, but end well. These are all wickets, not only one I enjoy. I just enjoy swing and ball as much as possible-I want to throw the ball as much as I want to be a choice for my captaincy.”
After the win, KKR is at seventh position in standing with nine points out of ten matches, keeping his playoff hopes alive in a tight middle-table competition.
