Sunil Narine, who was KKR’s stand-in captain due to an injury to Ajinkya Rahane, took three wickets and led the franchise to a 14-run win over Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League. Kolkata Knight Riders needed a win to stay alive in the 18th season, and the visiting team went past the challenge of the Axar Patel-led franchise. Chasing 205, Delhi were restricted to 190/9 in 20 overs. Narine dismissed Faf du Plessis (62), Axar Patel (43), and Tristan Stubbs (1). He also ran out KL Rahul (7). Vipraj Nigam (38 off 19) tried hard for the Capitals, but he didn’t get support from the other end.
Earlier, Narine scored 27 runs off 16 balls with the help of two fours and two sixes. Varun Chakravarthy also claimed two wickets.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz (26 off 12), Ajinkya Rahane (26 off 14), Angkrish Raghuvanshi (44 off 32), and Rinku Singh (36 off 25) took KKR to 204/9.
