Sunil Narine’s reaction after dismissing Kamindu Mendis during the Kolkata Knight Riders’ (KKR) match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at Eden Gardens went viral on social media. Despite taking an important wicket, Narine remained calm and expressionless, sparking a flood of memes online. The match saw SRH struggling early on in their chase of 201 runs, with key players like Travis Head and Ishan Kishan getting dismissed quickly. Despite efforts from Nitish Reddy and Kamindu Mendis to stabilize the innings, Narine’s breakthrough wicket further dented SRH’s chances. With wickets falling consistently, SRH failed to reach the target, eventually getting bowled out for 120 in 16.4 overs. The defeat marked SRH’s third consecutive loss, leading to discussions about their underwhelming performance. Despite the team’s explosive batting lineup, they failed to deliver, while KKR showcased a strong bowling performance to secure an 80-run victory. Narine’s composed demeanor in the midst of the game’s intensity further highlighted his poker face persona that has been consistent throughout his career.
