If you thought 200 runs in a T20 game was a big deal, Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) batting performance on Wednesday will make you rethink about the format, especially in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

West Indies' Sunil Narine scored a smashing 39-ball 85 to lead KKR to the second-best ever IPL total of 272-7, and then an all-round bowling performance led them to a 106-run victory over Delhi Capitals.

Kolkata, IPL champions in 2012 and 2014, bowled out Delhi for 166 in 17.2 overs. Kolkata registered their third consecutive win of the season at the Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy Stadium in Visakhapatnam to move to the top of the points table.

The huge total by KKR on Wednesday came just a week after Sunrisers Hyderabad posted a score of 277-3.

For Kolkata, Narine was not the only batter who thrashed Delhi bowlers. Angkrish Raghuvanshi scored a 27-ball 54, Russell hammered 41 off 19 balls, and Rinku Singh scored a blitz of an eight-ball 26. There was a partnership of 104 off just 48 balls between Narine and Raghuvanshi.

For Delhi, Anrich Nortje took three wickets while Ishant Sharma picked two.

Delhi never recovered from the batting onslaught from Kolkata batters. Captain Rishabh Pant (55) scored his second consecutive half-century while Tristan Stubbs (54) also hit a fifty but the team was bowled out for 166 in 17.2 overs and suffered their third loss of the season.

Among Kolkata bowlers, Vaibhav Arora and Varun Chakaravarthy were the most successful, taking three wickets each.

"Cricket is all about batting, so to contribute with the bat is pleasing, but I also enjoy my bowling," Narine, who also took a wicket after his brilliant knock, said after being named man of the match.

Narine hit seven fours and seven sixes for his highest T20 score in his 501st game. He also hit Ishant Sharma for 26 runs in an over as he reached his fifty in 21 balls.

Delhi bowlers conceded the highest total in the team's history, and KKR hit 18 sixes and 28 fours during their innings.

Over $5,700 Daily Earnings: Bitcoin Resurgence Fuels BJMINING Cloud Mining Boom

Bitcoin has once again become the focal point of the global financial markets. After surging past the $110,000 mark and then experiencing sharp corrections, the market is actively debating the long-term impact of the 2024 halving event, the continued inflows into U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs, and Bitcoin’s role as a hedge against inflation. While institutions are accelerating their adoption, more individual investors are seeking safer and more stable ways to participate in the cryptocurrency wave.

Cloud mining has emerged as a popular choice, with BJMINING standing out thanks to its professional operations and global infrastructure. According to reports, investors on BJMINING are achieving daily returns of over $5,700, offering greater stability and risk resistance compared to holding volatile spot assets directly.

Armani fashion journey

Giorgio Armani’s journey from window dresser to fashion emperor

Giorgio Armani: 10 chapters that turned a window dresser into fashion’s emperor

Highlights:

  • Armani began as a window dresser in Milan before sketching suits for Nino Cerruti.
  • In 1975, he launched his own label by selling his car, sparking a quiet fashion revolution.
  • His unstructured suits redefined power dressing for men and women in the 1980s.
  • From American Gigolo to the Oscars, Armani became Hollywood’s style signature.
  • He built a global empire yet stayed hands-on, shaping fashion until his final days at 91.

It’s strange to think Armani once stood behind a shop window, fixing mannequins instead of red carpets. He wasn’t born into Milan’s glittering salons or stitched into privilege. His journey started with burns from a war shell, with a mother who made scraps look elegant, with a young man who quit medical school because he couldn’t quite see his future in blood and bandages.

From there, he picked up fabrics, cuts, and the quiet dream of building something lasting. And against all odds, he did. You know his clothes. You’ve seen that look, the effortless drape of a jacket, the quiet confidence of a suit that doesn’t scream but whispers luxury. Giorgio Armani, who left us last year at 91, wasn’t just a designer, he rewrote how the world dresses. These ten chapters show how he carved that throne.
