Rajasthan Royals’ left-arm pacer Trent Boult put an end to Sunil Narine’s impressive century with an excellent delivery in the IPL 2024 match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Eden Gardens. Boult delivered a fiery full-length ball that curved in and deceived Narine completely.
Narine, a left-handed batsman, was slightly late in bringing down his bat, allowing the ball to slip through the gap between the bat and pad and shatter the leg stump. Boult promptly approached Narine to acknowledge his outstanding innings. Sunil Narine was dismissed in the 18th over, just as KKR were nearing the 200-run mark for the innings.

As the left-handed opener, he’s enjoying a remarkable season at the helm, amassing 276 runs in six matches. Notably, two of his highest scores in T20 cricket occurred within just three innings.
