IPL Records : 3 Best spells by Sunil Narine in IPL history

#2 4/13 vs Delhi Capitals, IPL 2013

Sunil Narine helped Kolkata Knight Riders get off to a winning start in IPL 6

The opening match of the sixth edition of the IPL saw Kolkata Knight Riders clash with the Delhi Capitals (then Delhi Daredevils). KKR opted to field first after winning the toss and they got off to a solid start as Brett Lee rattled the stumps of Unmukt Chand on the very first ball of the season. However, Mahela Jayawardene and D Warner tried to build a partnership to stable the innings.

Sunil Narine was introduced by Gautam Gambhir in the last over of the powerplay and the mystery spinner delivered by sending David Warner back on the fifth ball of his over. Rajat Bhatia and L Balaji cleaned up the middle order of the opposition before Sunil Narine was recalled to wrap the lower order.

Narine first got rid off Irfan Pathan in the 16th over and then dismissed Andre Russell and Ashish Nehra in the 18th and the 20th over, respectively to end the innings with figures of 4/13. He also won the man of the match award as his bowling helped KKR win the match easily.
