Sunil Narine played a swashbuckling knock of 81 off 39 balls and, combined with exceptional bowling and fielding, led KKR to 235/6. Narine and Phil Salt (32 off 14) set a blistering foundation with a 61-run stand in just 4.1 overs. Narine’s explosive innings were complemented by crucial cameos from Ramandeep Singh (25* off 6) and Shreyas Iyer (23 off 15).
