Brain fade moment! Jasprit Bumrah stuns Sunil Narine
NEW DELHI: Kolkata Knight Riders star opener suffered a brain fade moment during his side’s IPL 2024 match against Mumbai Indians at the Eden Gardens stadium in Kolkata on Saturday.
Bowling his first over in the match, Bumrah delivered a remarkable inswinging yorker to Narine, proving to be a game-changer for the pacer.
Narine, misjudging the trajectory of the ball, opted to let it pass.
However, a late inswing from Bumrah caught Narine off guard, shattering his off-stump and leaving the KKR opener stunned. Narine was dismissed for a duck.
Following the dismissal, Bumrah celebrated his significant achievement in his signature style.
This marked Narine’s 16th instance of departing for a duck in the IPL.
Additionally, it was his 44th dismissal without contributing to the scoreboard, making him the most dismissed batsman in men’s T20 cricket.
Despite this setback, Narine’s performance in IPL 2024 has been outstanding.
Narine is the highest run-scorer for KKR this season, scoring 461 runs in 12 matches at an impressive average of 38.42.
