Sunil Narine produced a stunning display of batting to slam a 39-ball 85 for Kolkata Knight Riders during the 16th match of the IPL 2024 match against Delhi Capitals on Wednesday.
The all-rounder, who was once again sent to open the batting with Phil Salt, looked in sublime touch as he completely dismantled the DC bowling attack.
Narine's best over came against Ishant Sharma where he ended up scoring 26 runs with a barrage of boundaries as KKR scored 88 runs in the powerplay.
The ex-Windies player smashed 7 fours and as many sixes to register the highest individual score of.
