KKR’s batting masterclass

Sunil Narine’s explosive knock

From the very onset, it was evident that KKR meant business. Led by the remarkable performances of Sunil Narine and Angkrish Raghuvanshi, they set the stage on fire with their explosive batting display. Narine, primarily known for his prowess with the ball, surprised everyone with his ferocious batting onslaught. His scintillating knock of 85 runs off just 39 deliveries left the DC bowlers gasping for breath and the fans in awe of his talent.

Although Rishabh Pant and Tristan Stubbs provided some resistance with impressive half-centuries, the target proved insurmountable for DC as they were eventually bowled out for 166.
