Narine joins Virat in this hard-hitting batting record list

Sunil Narine's approach is straightforward: see the ball and hit it over the park. The Kolkata Knight Riders' star opener once again delivered, blasting a brilliant 71 off 32 balls to provide a strong start for the two-time champions, forming a solid 138-run partnership with Phil Salt. Narine's explosive 71-run knock, which featured nine boundaries and four sixes, places him among top performers in the IPL 2024 Powerplay alongside RCB's Virat Kohli and Sunrisers Hyderabad's Travis Head.
