IPL 2020: Twitter reacts to Nitish Rana and Sunil Narine’s blistering knocks

Nitish Rana and Sunil Narine struck explosive half-centuries for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to take their sides to a score of 194 against Delhi Capitals (DC). DC had earlier won the toss and chosen to field first. KKR got off to a dismal start as they lost Shubman Gill, Rahul Tripathi and Dinesh Karthik within the first 8 overs.

Sunil Narine who had just returned to the playing XI then joined hands with opener Nitish Rana and the duo counter-attacked the DC bowlers. Both batters were unfazed by the bowling line-up they were facing. The likes of Ravichandran Ashwin and Marcus Stoinis had no clue as to how to stop them.

Narine finally got out for 64 off 32 balls to Kagiso Rabada’s bowling. Rana continued after his partner’s dismissal and finished on 81 runs off 52 balls. The team total at the end of 20 overs read a mammoth 194/6, something that had looked out of reach in the beginning.
