Virat Kohli had claimed before the tournament that their bowling attack will dominate this year in the IPL.

But the way Sunil Narine smashed them in the powerplay might have prompted him to think over his comments.

Chasing 177 runs in 20 overs, the KKR opener smashed a 17-ball fifty and got his team off to a blazing start.

The way he was hitting the ball, ask any of the bowlers from the RCB the only reply you’ll get is “That wasn’t a willow, it was a magic wand.”

With the help of this innings, Narine also became the first player to score two half-centuries under 18 balls in IPL.
