Key Points

Narines 39-ball 85 paves the way for Raghuvanshi, Russell and Rinku to join in on 272-run carnage in Visakhapatnam..

That may change, with KKR bettering that epochal 222 by 50 runs, almost taking down the highest IPL score this season but still finishing with the second highest score ever.I)..

Runs were scored at a phenomenal pace as Sunil Narine smashed 85 his highest IPL score off just 39 balls (7x4, 7x6); Angkrish Raghuvanshi piled 54 at a strike rate of 200 (27b, 5x4, 3x6), Andre Russell 41 off 19 balls and Rinku Singh nonchalantly smoked three sixes in an eight-ball 26..

Every ball was timed sweetly, every drive and punch found the gap with ease and every six stayed hit as KKR matched 18 fours with 18 sixes in an encore of the carnage Sunrisers Hyderabad had inflicted on Mumbai Indians barely a week back..

KKR could have easily overtaken 277, but Ishant Sharma finally found his rhythm at the fag end of his spell, comprehensively yorking Russell before dismissing Ramandeep Singh in an eight-run over..
