Survey
Should Sunil Narine be considered one of the largest versatile in the history of T20 cricket?
Sent for the batches first by the skipper of Delhi Axar Patel, KKR took a flamboyant start with the nostril courtesy. The Antilles broke 27 on only 16 balls, including two six and two four, covering an opening stand of 48 points with Rahmanullah Gurbaz (26 out of 12) in just three overs. The young Angkrish Raghuvanshi (44 out of 32) and Rinku Singh (36 out of 25) guided the sleeves through the medium offs to help KKR display a competitive 204 for 9.

Defending the total, Narine increased again on occasion. In a crucial spell, he withdrew Axar Patel (43 OFF 23) and the dangerous finisher Tristan Stubbs in the 14th, just like Delhi seemed to go ahead in the pursuit. He returned on the 16th to reject the well -established FAF of Plessis (62 out of 45), effectively sealing the competition. Narine finished with 3 for 29 and was rightly appointed game player.
Thinking about victory and her milestone, Narine said: “It was a total team effort. I always turn around to come back and deliver. There are games where you don’t start well but you finish well. These are all counters, not only the one I love. I swing you and throws the ball as hard as possible.
After the victory, KKR is seventh in the classification with nine ten matches, keeping their hopes in the playoff series in a tight competition at mid-table.
