Dhaka: Sunil Narine is one of the players retained by the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) ahead of the IPL Mega Auction. Sunil Narine, who has been loyal to Kolkata for years, is coming to the IPL with a shot put in the Premier League in Bangladesh.
Narine, who also opened the final for the Comilla Witkorians after a fiery half-century in the second qualifier of the Bangladesh Premier League, gave the team a solid start with 57 off 23 balls. Narine’s innings consisted of five fours and five sixes. Narine reached his half-century off 21 balls.

Narine, who hit a 13-ball half-century in the last match, scored the second-fastest half-century in T20 history and the fastest half-century in the Bangladesh Premier League. Narine, who was dismissed for 57 off 16 balls in the last match, was dismissed for 57 off 23 balls in the final.
But it’s strange that Narine’s firing start did not give the Comilla Victorians a big score in the final. Apart from Narine, Moin Ali (38) was the only batsman to make an impact. Lytton Das (4), Mahmudul Hasan Joy (8) and Duplessis (4) were the other notable contributors as Victorians were bowled out for 151 in 20 overs.

India’s Yuvraj Singh, West Indies legend Chris Gayle and Afghan Hazrat Zazai hold the record for fastest half-centuries in children’s cricket. Yuvraj completed his fifty off 12 balls in his famous innings against England in 2007. Gayla won the Melbourne Renegades-Adelaide Strikers match in the Big Bash League in 2016 and the Zazai-based Zazai won the 2018 Kabul Swanan-Bulk Legends match by 12 balls.
