Sunil Narine’s brilliant fifty, combined with a strong collective performance from the bowlers, led to Kolkata Knight Riders’ commanding 98-run victory over Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL on Sunday. LSG’s decision to bowl first backfired as KKR became the first team to surpass 200 runs at the Ekana stadium. Narine showcased his batting prowess once again, scoring an explosive 81 off 38 balls. His onslaught included seven sixes and six fours, propelling KKR to an imposing total of 235/6.
