Despite Shami taking the game into a super over, it was Narine who bundled out LSG at 1 run with Rinku Singh winning the super over in just 1 ball.
The 27-year-old picked his fifer in his 4th and final over of his spell as he was superb with the new ball with skipper Rishabh Pant bowling him out as quickly as possible to hurt the KKR lineup.
The on field umpire referred it to the third umpire who after multiple reviews, gave the decision against Angkrish, instructing the batter to walk back to the dressing room.

His dip in form began during the Super Eights stage of the T20 World Cup, where he was taken apart by South African duo of David Miller and Dewald Brevis, and the trend carried into the ...
