The bowling all-rounder also returned figures of 2-30 in the second innings, claiming the wickets of India’s Dhruv Jurel and fellow West Indian Rovman Powel (13-ball 26, 1x4, 3x6) just as he was threatening to cut loose.

Rajasthan Royals (RR) won a thriller against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Eden Gardens on Tuesday night thanks to opener Jos Buttler’s unbeaten 60-ball 107, but it’s difficult to forget KKR opener Sunil Narine’s maiden IPL century in the first innings that set the tone for the match.
The West Indian made 109 off 56 deliveries to help KKR post a mammoth 223-6 in an innings that saw little contribution from others. Narine hammered six sixes and 13 fours, becoming only the third KKR batter after Brendon McCullum and Venkatesh Iyer to score an IPL century.
