Sunil Narine smashed an explosive 85 off 39 deliveries to lead Kolkata Knight Riders to a sensational victory over Delhi Capitals in IPL 2024 on Wednesday Team (Delhi Capitals). The knock helped KKR post a mammoth total of 272/7, the second-highest total in the history of the tournament, but it was too much for DC, who were beaten by 106 runs. However, Narine was given a huge lifeline when he handed Ishant Sharma’s delivery to Rishabh Pant behind the stumps, but the DC captain belatedly sought a DRS review after the umpire ruled in KKR’s favour.
Pant was hesitant to go under review and after some persuasion from his teammates, he eventually did but was turned down as time had expired. However, some social media users were not convinced, pointing out that Pant was wrongly denied.
