IPL 2025: Sunil Narine’s Brilliant All-round Show Helps KKR Edge DC By 14 Runs (ld)
Kolkata Knight Riders: Sunil Narine put on a brilliant all-round show – scoring 27 off 16 balls and claiming, 3-29 with the ball, being the stand-in captain and effecting a crucial run-out - to help Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) edge Delhi Capitals (DC) by 14 runs and keep themselves in contention for a playoffs spot in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium here on Tuesday.
After KKR had their batters producing quick knocks at a great strike rate to post 204/9 on a pitch that was great for batting, DC threatened to chase down the total via a 76-run stand between vice-captain Faf du Plessis, who top-scored with 62, and skipper Axar Patel, who smashed 43 despite suffering a left-hand injury while fielding.
But Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy, despite initial expensive spells, made decisive double strikes in the 14th and 18th overs respectively, as DC went from 136/3 to eventually finish at 190/9, to suffer their third defeat at their original home venue.
