Sunil Narine flew to his first IPL century as the Kolkata Knight Riders set Rajasthan Royals a target of 224 at a packed Eden Gardens on Tuesday.
The 35-year-old southpaw, who returned figures of 4-0-17-1 against the Lucknow Super Giants a couple of days ago, decided he would flaunt his batting skills on Tuesday as he reached the three-figure mark off just 49 deliveries with 11 fours and six sixes. It required the guile of Trent Boult to finally dismiss him in the 18th over for a 56-ball 109. It was the first century by a Knight in front of their home crowd.
