Kolkata Knight Riders came close to breaking Sunrisers Hyderabad’s record for the highest team score in an IPL match after it scored a mammoth 272 for seven against Delhi Capitals in Vizag on Wednesday.

85 of those runs came off the bat of Sunil Narine, who faced just 39 balls, before getting dismissed by Mitchell Marsh.
Angkrish Raghuvanshi, 18, slammed a half-century as well in just 25 deliveries, providing able support to the Trinidadian from the other end. “When I went in to bat, (the intention) was very simple. I just wanted to watch the ball. It was so much fun (watching Narine bat at the other end) Whatever they were bowling was coming on well to the bat. We didn’t see a lot of spin,” he told the broadcaster during the innings break.
The duo’s dismissal, however, didn’t bring any kind of respite for the DC bowlers as Andre Russell continued the onslaught, finishing with a 19-ball 41.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru held the record before SRH when it posted 263 runs against Pune Warriors India in Bengaluru in 2013.
KKR scored its second-highest total of 261/5 against Punjab Kings in match no. 42.
