Mitchell Starc has been forced to miss his latest IPL ordeal because of injury ... and the Australian star can afford to feel mightily relieved he did after his Kolkata side got hit for six in an amazing world-record T20 run chase at Eden Gardens. Jonny Bairstow led Punjab Kings to an extraordinary eight-wicket triumph on Friday, plundering an unbeaten century off 45 balls as they chased down the Kolkata Knight Riders’ massive 6-261, reaching 2-262 with still eight balls to spare.
In response, Bairstow, omitted from Punjab’s previous two games after scoring just 96 in six IPL outings, hammered more in just one breathtaking knock, clouting 108no off 48 balls, with nine sixes and eight fours. He was helped in the carnage by fellow opener and impact sub batter Prabhsimran Singh, who hit 54 off 20, before Shashank Singh then dominated an unbeaten third-wicket partnership with the English hero, smiting eight sixes in his unbeaten 68.
