On Wednesday night, as the Kolkata Knight Riders' innings was in progress, the group the executives chose to face a challenge against Chennai Super Kings. At the fall of their second wicket for 70 – of Nitish Rana, KKR picked to send in special hitter Sunil Narine at No. 4, in front of set up batsman Eoin Morgan. Narine, before the game against CSK, had opened the batting, yet following a line of low scores, supplanted by Rahul Tripathi at the top.
Tripathi advocated the move by scoring 81, yet relatively few couldn't fold their heads over the way that Narine was advanced in front of a World Cup-winning skipper as Morgan. Narine hit one four and a six during his inning of 17 off 9 balls before he was out. At No. 5, Morgan couldn't do a lot and was out gotten behind off the bowling of Sam Curran.
The move left many puzzled, including all-rounder and Morgan’s England teammate Ben Stokes. Currently undergoing a mandatory six-day quarantine, Stokes, who will be playing for Rajasthan Royals, sent out a tweet, which kind of resonated with KKR and its fans. “Narine before Morgan???” he tweeted.
“Yeah, it’s like Yuvraj before stokes Face with tears of joy! Sometimes u got let the all-rounders go before, bowlers who can bat before a proper batsman to slog,” Yuvraj responded to the tweet.
