As KKR vs RCB crucial eliminator is underway at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, West Indies spinner Sunil Narine has given back-to-back jolts to the 'Men In Red'. Having won the toss, Virat Kohli decided to bat first and tried to give a solid start along with Devdutt Paddikal in the 'do-or-die' game. Virat Kohli was looking solid in the middle when KKR spinner Sunil Narine clean bowled him at the score of 39 runs. 

Sunil Narine dismissed Virat Kohli in the 13th over when the RCB skipper tried to slog-sweep him. Following Kohli, Narine then bamboozled veteran AB de Villiers in the 15th over of the match. AB de Villiers tried to play the Narine for a single, however, the ball turned sharply and went straight through the bat and pad. AB de Villiers was dismissed on a score of 11 runs. Narine then picked the in-form Maxwell when the Australian all-rounder tried to slog him over mid-on. In total, Sunil Narine picked up 4 wickets in the Eliminator and stopped the RCB from getting any kind of momentum.
