Kolkata Knight Riders came into this match at the back of a 102-run loss to Mumbai and their batsmen have silenced everyone who doubted their batting in the very next match. Chris Lynn and Sunil Narine provided yet another blazing start to the Kolkata innings as stitched together a 53-run partnership off 32 balls.In spite of losing his opening partner, Narine continued the carnage and went on to make a 36-ball 75. Narine and Uthappa together scored 75 runs in 37 balls but both got out in the twelfth over.Then entered their captain Dinesh Karthik who reached his half-century mark in just 22 balls. Karthik was helped by Andre Russell, Nitish Rana and Shubhman Gill as they scored 31(14), 11(4) and 16(8) respectively.Of all the KKR batsmen who plundered KXIP bowlers, only Lynn and Uthappa had a strike rate below 200. KKR's innings got a fitting end as the IPL debutant, Javon Searles, who was facing his first delivery, finished off the innings with a six.Here's how Twitter reacted to the carnage:It took 10 years for Kolkata Knight Riders to surpass their total of 222/3 in the first ever IPL match.However, no KKR player has scored a century after Brendon McCullum's 158* in that game. #IPL2018 #KXIPvKKR— Sampath Bandarupalli (@SampathStats) May 12, 2018KKR's 245 is the highest total in IPL without a century and the joint second-highest in all T20s. The only bigger total without a century is Sri Lanka's 260 v Kenya in 2007 WT20. #KXIPvKKR— Bharath Seervi (@SeerviBharath) May 12, 2018Kolkata Knight Riders' 245/6 today is......Highest IPL total at IndoreHighest IPL total for KKRHighest IPL total vs KXIPHighest total in IPL20184th highest total in all IPL matches#KXIPvKKR #KKRvKXIP #IPL2018 #IPL— Rajneesh Gupta (@rgcricket) May 12, 2018What insane hitting Indore is witnessing today....Pitch is good but not as flat as the #KKR batsmen have made it look.

But this too is ok. Ok not great, no score is great on a ground where boundaries are 50m away.#KXIPvKKR— SHAH RUKH KHAN (@SRKsWarrior1__) May 12, 2018Will request people not to abuse our bowlers today, apan ne maara wo bhi maarenge.This ground is not ground but joke, colony ke garden isse bade rehte hai.#KXIPvKKR— SHAH RUKH KHAN (@SRKsWarrior1__) May 12, 2018Most runs at the halfway mark vs KXIP this IPL106 KKR, Indore *86 KKR, Kolkata85 CSK, Mohali82 RR, Jaipur81 RR, Indore#KXIPvKKR #KXIP #KKR #IPL #IPL2018— Cricbuzz (@cricbuzz) May 12, 2018Nitish Rana now has 8 SIXES at Indore in his last 2 inns combined & no FOURS #KXIPvKKR— Abhay3 (@ImAbhay3) May 12, 2018Despite 4 wickets taken by Andrew Tye, KKR scored an enormous total of 245/6 (20) 🔥🔥🔥🔥DK~ 50 (23)Narine~ 75 (36)Russell~ 31 (14)Can KXIP chased this down?

This Russell fella does the same with his bat, nobody cares. F*ck you ICC. #KXIPvKKR— Abhishek (@Sajjanlaunda) May 12, 2018That day Gayle & Rahul did it with us.. today we are doing it with them.. #KXIPvKKR— Sumit kadel (@SumitkadeI) May 12, 2018I love Chris Gayle fielding at short third man. Doesn't move an inch. Might as well just sleep there. Won't make a difference. #KXIPvKKR— Abhishek (@Sajjanlaunda) May 12, 2018
