Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) mystery spinner Sunil Narine is known for his handy cameos with the bat at the top of the order and the destruction he can cause is no secret. Narine once gave a display of his carnage during the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) match against the Delhi Capitals. 

Narine targetted Ishant Sharma early on in the KKR innings and took him to the cleaners to steal a staggering 26 runs from the over. Narine blasted three maximums and two boundaries to break his shackles and Ishant's confidence at the same time. 

Narine started off with back-to-back sixes off the very first two balls, and followed it up with a cracking boundary. Ishant delivered an odd dot ball on the fourth to take a sigh of relief but only to be hit for a six and four on the next two deliveries.

Narine, who added 104 runs for the second wicket in quick time with young batter Angkrish Raghuvanshi, finally got out on 85, his highest T20 score, which came in 39 balls. His knock was studded with 7 fours and as many sixes.

Speaking about the match, debutant Raghuvanshi slammed a 25-ball fifty and gave solid company to Narine after the fall of opener Philip Salt (18). Courtesy of the stellar partnership coupled with quickfire cameos from Andre Russell (41 off 19 balls) and Rinku Singh (26 off 8 balls) propelled KKR to a towering total of 272 for 7 in 20 overs.
