IPL 2017: Photos from RCB-KKR match; Records tumble
Bengaluru, May 8: Sunil Narine (54) and Chris Lynn (50) demolised Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) bowlers as they piloted Kolkata Knight Riders to an easy 6-wicket victory in an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2017 match here. (Scorecard)
Narine, as an opener, blazed his way to a record-matching fastest half century in IPL. His fifty came off 15 balls, the joint quickest in the tournament's history. His team-mate Yusuf Pathan was the sole owner of the feat earlier. (Kohli says sorry)
