IPL 2024: Hayden Labels Bairstow’s Unbeaten 108 As ‘one Of The Great Innings’ Of T20 History
Star Sports Cricket Live: Former Australia cricketer Matthew Hayden heaped praise on Punkab Kings' extraordinary batting and called it a ‘perfect chase’ after the Kings set the record of highest successful chase against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens.
After openers Phil Salt and Sunil Narine slammed rollicking half-centuries while sharing an opening partnership of 138 runs in 10.2 overs to propel KKR to a mammoth 261/6, Prabhsimran Singh laid the foundation with a quick fifty, before Bairstow and Shashank dished out sensational knocks as PBKS now own the record for highest successful chase in T20 history.
“Yeah, it had to be the perfect run chase and it was,” said Hyaden on Star Sports Cricket Live. “I mean inside that power play they were extraordinary. They absolutely roasted anyone that came across them apart from Narine. It was a beacon of hope for just cutting short this enormous run chase.”
