Narine continued the fine form and picked up the wicket of Glenn Maxwell to dent RCB’s chances of putting up a big score on the board. Narine finished his four overs with figures of four for 21.
Earlier in the match, Kohli had won the toss and opted to bat in Sharjah.
Devdutt Padikkal and Kohli got RCB off to a flying start, scoring 49 in the first five overs. However, KKR bowlers roared back into the contest with regular strikes.
Thanks to Narine’s spell, KKR managed to restrict RCB to 138 for seven from their quota of 20 overs.
