IPL 2018: Top 5 knocks of week 1 (April 7-13) of IPL XI

#4 Sunil Narine 50(19) v Royal Challengers Bangalore

Sunil Narine on his way to his half-century against RCB

He did it last year and he has done it again. Sunil Narine is the perhaps the only cricketer one will find both in the Top 5 spells and Top 5 knocks lists of the first week of IPL 11. He surely loves Royal Challengers Bangalore, as he once again smashed a quick-fire 50 against Virat Kohli's men. Chasing a big target of 177, KKR lost their most precious asset in Chris Lynn in the very second over. They needed someone to take charge, and the West Indian obliged.

Narine registered his half-century in just 18 deliveries, and by the time he was out, KKR were already in the driver's seat. He hit 4 boundaries and 5 sixes in that innings which both RCB and KKR fans will remember for a long time.
