With Kolkata Knight Riders taking on Kings XI Punjab at Eden Gardens, eyes were on Sunil Narine, KKR’s trump card. What did he do, he dropped a sitter in the very first over, which could have turned out to be costly. But he stepped it up and bowled well, giving away just 19 runs off 4 overs. He also picked up the crucial wicket of Marcus Stoinis. But what actually caught the attention of everyone was the fact that Sunil Narine walked out to open in place of injured Chris Lynn and guess what Narine came out bludgeoning the ball to all corners. His 18 ball 37 blitz has got the Twitter talking. This will augur well for KKR going deep into the tournament.
