Hardik Pandya Dismisses Sunil Narine With A Stunner In MI vs KKR IPL 2024 Match

On May 3, 2024, during an IPL match between Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders, Hardik Pandya from Mumbai Indians managed to get Sunil Narine out. At that point, Kolkata Knight Riders were at 51 runs for 4 wickets in 5 overs. Pandya bowled a short ball to Narine, who hit it for a six.

However, on the next delivery, Pandya bowled a back-of-a-length ball again, and this time Narine missed it completely, resulting in his leg stump getting knocked down.

Narine scored 8 runs off 8 balls before getting out. Following Narine’s dismissal, Rinku Singh came in to bat for Kolkata Knight Riders and managed to hit two consecutive fours off Mumbai Indians‘ bowling. Meanwhile, in the previous over, Venkatesh Iyer had also scored a four.

This match was important for both teams. Kolkata Knight Riders had six wins out of nine games, putting them in the second position on the IPL points table with 12 points. Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, had a tough season and were struggling to make it to the playoffs, despite having five more games to play. Hardik Pandya, the skipper of Mumbai Indians, was under pressure to perform well as he hadn’t been at his best since recovering from an injury.

However, his selection as the vice-captain for the Indian cricket team for the World Cup could serve as motivation for him to improve his performance.

The lineups for the match were as follows :

Mumbai Indians: Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Nehal Wadhera, Hardik Pandya, Naman Dhir, Tim David, Gerald Coetzee, Piyush Chawla, Jasprit Bumrah, Nuwan Thushara.

Kolkata Knight Riders: Philip Salt, Sunil Narine, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Shreyas Iyer, Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Ramandeep Singh, Mitchell Starc, Vaibhav Arora, Varun Chakaravarthy.
