Curtains are closing for the Kolkata Knight Riders in batting today, the team has lost many crucial wickets and is currently at a low score. As an experiment, the team sent Sunil Narine up the order to the bat at no.3. Sunil Narine has opened up for KKR in the past a few times as well and not to forget his hitting abilities over the park which absolutely boosts the start for KKR in the powerplay.
With the very same approach, Narine was sent to bat after the openers failed to show in the powerplay and he was expected to hit some big strokes and get KKR’s innings back on track but the West Indies batting all-rounder couldn’t stay for long as he could only manage to his just 1 boundary and got dismissed for just 6 runs off 7 balls which pushed the KKR into the pit.
KKR has been much reliant on Narine’s hard-hitting over the past few years. His hitting ability is surely a big asset for his team which surely did not prove useful and his innings was cut short. Narine would surely look to contribute with the bat in the next matches and give those valuable runs in the total.
