NEW DELHI: Kolkata Knight Riders star opener suffered a brain fade moment during his side’s IPL 2024 match against Mumbai Indians at the Eden Gardens stadium in Kolkata on Saturday.
Bowling his first over in the match, Bumrah delivered a remarkable inswinging yorker to Narine, proving to be a game-changer for the pacer.
Narine, misjudging the trajectory of the ball, opted to let it pass.
However, a late inswing from Bumrah caught Narine off guard, shattering his off-stump and leaving the KKR opener stunned. Narine was dismissed for a duck.
