IPL 2024: Narine smashes 85 off 39 as Knight Riders crush Capitals by 106 runs

Hyderabad posted a record 277-3, breaking the previous IPL best of 263-5 set by Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2013.

Kolkata, who were crowned IPL champions in 2012 and 2014, have won all three matches in the new season and top the 10-team table.

Opener Narine laid the platform for victory on Wednesday with a blistering start, bludgeoning seven fours and seven sixes to reach the highest T20 score of his career in his 501st match.

The 35-year-old cracked 26 runs off one Ishant Sharma over to bring up his half-century in 21 balls, while putting on 104 runs with 18-year-old Raghuvanshi.

Russell smashed 41 off 19 balls with Singh adding an eight-ball 26, while Vaibhav Arora took 3-27 in Delhi’s reply. (BBC Sport)
