Today at Eden Gardens, it was the Narine-show, with Kolkata Knight Riders leading the Rajasthan Royals at the conclusion of the first innings after setting a goal of 224 runs. In order to get his first-ever T20 hundred, Sunil Narine went all out against the bowlers, keeping up with the elite bowlers of RR.
However, Jos Buttler’s incredible effort made sure that RR crossed the finish line to secure a thrilling victory with one ball remaining!
Jos Buttler was clearly the star of the show as he led RR through all 20 overs of their chase while smashing a remarkable 109* in only 56 balls, an innings that featured six sixes and thirteen fours.
Unfortunately, KKR’s amazing ball-handling performance cannot be overlooked. Players like Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine both performed admirably to assist the home team stay in the game.
