Sunil Narine does a Glenn Maxwell against Jasprit Bumrah
The match took an unexpected turn in the very first over when Bumrah, with his masterful bowling, sent shockwaves through the KKR lineup. Bowling to Sunil Narine, Bumrah produced a delivery that left the experienced all-rounder bewildered. The ball brushed the base of off stump, sending Narine back to the pavilion without scoring a single run, leaving the KKR fans stunned.
Commentators likened Narine’s dismissal to Glenn Maxwell’s infamous leave in the Big Bash League (BBL) 2014, emphasizing the brilliance of Bumrah’s bowling strategy. Narine’s confusion over Bumrah’s late inswinger proved costly, highlighting the effectiveness of Bumrah’s deceptive bowling variations.
