Watch: An error in judgement saw Sunil Narine leave an inswinging yorker from Jasprit Bumrah to get bowled off his first ball in the 2024 IPL fixture between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Eden Gardens on Saturday (May 11).

Bumrah came in to bowl the second over after his new ball partner Nuwan Thushara dismissed the in-form Phil Salt, who started dramatically by hammering the first ball of the match for a six.
The pacer executed an inswinging yorker on off stump. Narine, in the form of his life, had a brain fade and decided to leave. The ball rattled the stumps, almost in a near encore of Glenn Maxwell’s horror leave in the BBL nine years back. The West Indies all-rounder fell for a golden duck with Kolkata being reduced to 10-2.
The host’s third wicket fell in the fifth over of the powerplay when Anshul Kamboj bowled their captain, Shreyas Iyer, for 7 with the score at 40-3.
