KKR vs DC: Watch - Sunil Narine literally bamboozles Axar Patel as DC sink further in Kolkata

Delhi Capitals all-rounder Axar Patel tried to keep his team in the hunt in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 game against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). But he failed to do that as he was extremely unlucky and had to take the long walk back to the pavilion. 

The 47th game of the Indian Premier League is underway at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. The home team have been all over the opposition with the ball as they have made a mockery of the opposition's batting lineup, leaving them in totters in what is the crucial game for them. 

After Delhi Capitals lost early wickets, Axar Patel was trying to get going and tried to hold the one end. But Sunil Narine got better off him and removed him to jolt the visitors. He, however, also didn't have luck in his favor as he managed the most unusual dismissal in the game. 

During the 3rd ball of the 14th over, Sunil Narine bowled a carom ball. The length was short and Axar Patel tried to knock it into the off-side. The ball came in and took the inside edge and then went on to dislodge the off-stump and send the batter packing. Notably, Axar Patel was very confused after getting out as he was preparing to run, only to find out that his timber was disturbed.

Love bowling with the new ball - Vaibhav Arora 

Vaibhav Arora talked about his performance with the ball and said that wicket to remove Shai Hope was his best ball. He expressed his delight in bowling with new ball and said that they are backing themselves to win the game. He added: 

"Randomly got a chance against Delhi last time also. And after two matches on the bench, got a chance against them again. That ball (to Hope) was canted as an outswinger, landed on a perfect length and got the wicket. 

"Love bowling with the new ball. Can swing it both ways. Wicket is a little slow today, and there was swing early on. Based on the last few games, it should be an easy chase," he concluded.
