Sunil Narine bowls the best spell to restrict RCB for a score of 138

In his 4 overs, Narine gave away only 21 runs at an economy of 5.2. He now has 14 wickets in just 12 matches this season.

The game of cricket has produced several mystery spinners over the years. There was an era, in which Muralidharan and Shane Warne were considered as the toughest of them all to bat against. The same title is the modern time is held by Sunil Narine and he has proved his worth time and time again. In the eliminator, where his side KKR seems to be struggling against a settled batting line of RCB, Narine produced one of his best spells to bring his team back in the game.

Royal Challengers Bangalore had a great start to their innings, as their openers put up a great show to score 53 runs in the powerplay. At that point, it felt as if 170 runs was what RCB must be eyeing, but KKR came back strong, courtesy of an amazing spell by Narine. It was Ferguson who delivered the first blow, by knocking over Padikkal. After that, it felt as if the flood gates open and one after the other, wickets kept on tumbling. Sunil Narine was the pick of the bowlers for KKR, as he picked up 4 crucial wickets in the form of Bharat, who was their star batsman in the last match. Then he picked up Kohli who was looking in good touch. AB de Villiers looked to be struggling and was an easy target, while Maxwell lost his wicket looking to land some finishing blows. This spell by Narine turned out to be the best spell by any KKR bowler in a playoff match.
