Kolkata Knight Riders lose their 7th wicket.
Eshan Malinga 12 (4) [6s-2]
14.2 – No run
This time wide outside offAnother slower ball,. Narine swings hard but misses. It’s close to the tramline but not given as wide. Narine decides not to review.
14.2 – Wide
Malinga goes slower again at 107 kph but sprays it too wide. Narine doesn’t bother chasing it.
14.2 – Wide (after review)
A 105.2 kph slower ball well outside off. Narine leaves it alone, but surprisingly, it’s not called wide. The left-hander immediately signals for a review. Replays show he barely moved, and the ball was clearly outside the guideline. The on-field decision is overturned—successful review for Narine!
14.0 – SIX!
A 115.3 kph slower delivery in the middle. Narine clears his front leg and smashes it powerfully over long-on. Harsh Dubey, stationed near the boundary, leaps for a catch and even gets his fingertips on it—but ends up pushing the ball over the rope. A tough chance, but it goes for six.
13.5 – SIX!
Narine announces himself in style! A short ball at 134.6 kph, he stands tall before pulling it brilliantly over deep midwicket. The ball sails 86 meters for a huge maximum.
A short but explosive cameo from Sunil Narine—two massive sixes, a successful review, and finally a well-taken catch to end the action-packed stay at the crease.
