Narine All-Round Heroics Lift KKR Past Delhi Capitals
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) pulled off a vital 14-run win against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. The star of the night was Sunil Narine, who delivered with both bat and ball to seal the victory.
Narine Sparks with Bat, Strikes with Ball
After being put in to bat, KKR posted 204 for 9 in their 20 overs. Narine played a handy role in the middle order, scoring a brisk 27 that added momentum during the innings. With the ball, he was even more effective. Narine picked up 3 wickets for just 29 runs. He removed key players like Axar Patel, Faf du Plessis, and Tristan Stubbs at crucial moments to derail Delhi’s chase.
Game Shifted When It Mattered
DC looked steady at one stage, sitting at 130 for 3 in the 13th over. But Narine’s introduction turned the tide. His clever changes in pace and tight lines brought quick breakthroughs.That sudden collapse put pressure back on Delhi, who eventually fell short in the chase despite a good start.
Man of the Match and a T20 Milestone
For his all-round performance, Narine was rightly awarded the Player of the Match. He also matched a major record — reaching 208 wickets in T20s for a single franchise, equaling Samit Patel’s mark. It was a big moment, both for Narine and for KKR, showing the value of his experience.
KKR’s Playoff Dreams Still Alive
This win gives KKR much-needed momentum as they push for the playoffs. With four wins from ten matches, every game now is a must-win for them. They’ll need similar performances in the coming fixtures to stay in contention. Sunil Narine’s impact in this game proved why he remains one of the most dependable match-winners in the league. His calm under pressure and ability to perform in both roles give KKR an edge when it matters most.
