Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) star Sunil Narine has etched his name in the history books with a blistering 15-ball fifty in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Narine's explosive inning came against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) during the 2017 edition of the tournament.
The RCB bowling attack proved to be no match for Narine's onslaught. The 21-year-old Trinidadian left-hander took no prisoners, launching a barrage of boundaries and sixes over the Eden Gardens boundary. Narine's victims included the likes of Piyush Chawla and Andre Russell, leaving them shell-shocked.
Narine joins an elite club of players to have scored a half-century in 15 balls or fewer in the IPL. Other notable members of this list include Yusuf Pathan, KL Rahul, and Pat Cummins. However, Narine's feat remains the fastest fifty in the tournament, a testament to his exceptional power-hitting abilities.
KKR eventually cruised to victory against RCB by 6 wickets, thanks in large part to Narine's whirlwind knock. The Trinidadian's inning was not just a statistical marvel but also a spectacle for the ages, leaving fans in awe of his sheer brilliance.
