KKR vs MI, IPL 2024: In an interesting turn of events, match 60 of the IPL 2024 between Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians witnessed Sunil Narine's dismissal in an unusual way at the Eden Gardens on Saturday, May 11.
Jasprit Bumrah cleaned Narine up with a stunning in-swinging over-pitched delivery and the brain fade moment left everyone stunned early in the match.
The instance took place in the second over of KKR's innings when MI skipper Hardik Pandya introduced Bumrah who came up with something special on the very first delivery.
Bumrah unleashed an in-swinger first up and Narine who didn't expect the ball to come in that late kept his bat in the air, aiming to leave it but ended up losing his wicket in the most hilarious manner.
You miss, I hit 🎯⚡️

Narine's dismissal was as similar as was once witnessed in Big Bash League Season 4 when Australia's star all-rounder Glenn Maxwell came down the pitch only to leave it and get dismissed.

Talking about the match, KKR were put into bat first and were off to a disappointing start as they lost Phil Salt for six runs in the first over by Nuwan Thushara.
After Narine's dismissal, skipper Shreyas Iyer was dismissed by Anshul Kamboj for seven runs in the fifth over.
Nitish Rana and Venkatesh Iyer then stitched a partnership with the latter looking comfortable in the middle once again against MI.
