Sunil Narine’s blazing form with the bat in IPL 2024 has reached a new peak, providing the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) with a potent weapon at the top of the order. However, it was in the crucial 31st game of the season against the league-leading Rajasthan Royals (RR) that Sunil Narine truly cemented his place in history by smashing his first-ever century in T20 cricket.
Narine scored his amazing hundred in just 49 balls, showing how much control he had as he hit the Rajasthan bowlers all around the field.
The delivery, angled perfectly on middle and leg stump, proved unplayable for Sunil Narine. Attempting a hoick across the line, he missed the ball entirely, resulting in the red cherry clattering into his leg stump and ending his magnificent knock. While the RR camp breathed a sigh of relief at the dismissal, Narine had already inflicted significant damage. The southpaw had carved his name in the record books with a phenomenal innings of 13 boundaries and 6 towering sixes.
Propelled by Narine’s scintillating innings, KKR ultimately amassed a formidable total, surpassing the coveted 200-run mark. Consequently, this dominant display positioned them in a commanding stance against the top-ranked Rajasthan Royals.
