The magician:
RCB’S middle-order had momentum in its wings and runs under its belt, and so it was anti-climactic to witness its unraveling during the Eliminator against Kolkata Knight Riders in Sharjah. Sunil Narine was the architect of RCB’S downfall as he took four wickets for 21 runs, removing Glenn Maxwell, K. S. Bharat, and AB de Villiers cheaply. Virat Kohli, playing in what turned out to be his final game as captain of RCB, was dismissed by Narine as well, for 39.
