The KKR opener, Sunil Narine made headlines in the 31st match of IPL 2024 at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, as he smashed his maiden IPL century against the Rajasthan Royals.
Thanks to Sunil Narine’s breathtaking century, scoring 109 runs off just 56 balls, featuring 13 boundaries and six sixes, Kolkata Knight Riders set a mammoth target of 223 runs, batting first.
This achievement cements Sunil Narine’s place in IPL history as the only player to accomplish the rare feat of scoring a century and claiming a five-wicket haul.
While 50 players have scored centuries and 30 have taken five-wicket hauls in IPL history, Sunil Narine’s name shines uniquely as the only player to have accomplished both feats.
