Sunil Narine welcomed Hardik Pandya with an astounding six on Friday (May 3) in Match 51 of IPL 2024 between Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders, taking place at Mumbai's iconic Wankhede Stadium.

Hardik, after winning the toss and opted to field first, came to bowl the fifth over of KKR's innings. By then, the Purple and Gold Brigade lost three wickets. Yet Narine kept playing his natural game, as Hardik's short delivery towards the leg side was rightfully punished.

The pull played by Narine went effortlessly over deep square leg for six runs. The distance, when the ball landed among the fans, was 77 metres.
