Sunil Narine once again proved his mettle with the bat for Kolkata Knight Riders when he slammed the joint fastest IPL fifty in the game against Royal Challengers Bangalore.

But guess who gave him some good advice which helped him in smashing it around? None other than opening partner Chris Lynn!
The duo put on 105 in 6.1 overs and Lynn made 50 in 22 balls while Narine finished with 54 in 17 (his fifty came in 15 balls).

So what was it that Lynn told him? Simple, stay still and don’t give away too much movement.
“I was told by Lynn to stay still and not move too much and give me strike whenever possible, and he told me that if I could go for the big shots it would be even better for the team,” said Narine.

Well it certainly paid off as the ball went to the boundary on a regular basis. With the play-offs approaching one hopes to see many more knocks from KKR’s new batting sensation.
