IPL 2024: Bairstow’s Unbeaten 108, Shashank’s 68 Not Out Help PBKS Complete Highest Successful Chase In T20s
Kolkata Knight Riders: Jonny Bairstow slammed an unbeaten 108 while Shashank Singh shone with 68 not out as Punjab Kings completed a record chase of 262 at Eden Gardens to secure an eight-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders in an absolute run-fest on Friday.
After openers Phil Salt and Sunil Narine slammed rollicking half-centuries while sharing an opening partnership of 138 runs in 10.2 overs to propel KKR to a mammoth 261/6, Prabhsimran Singh laid the foundation with a quick fifty, before Bairstow and Shashank dished out sensational knocks as PBKS set the record of highest successful chase in T20 history.
For Bairstow, this was a much-needed second IPL century, with his 108 coming off 48 balls and aided by eight fours and nine sixes after being dropped due to poor form. Friday’s knock boosts his chances of entering England’s squad for the T20 World Cup.
