Sunil Narine becomes first player to score a century, take a wicket, and a catch in a single match

After his hundred, he also took a wicket and has been pretty economical as well. He was able to scalp the wicket of Dhruv Jurel as the ball struck his pad during the ninth over of the Rajasthan Royals’ innings. But the umpire did not give the India wicketkeeper-batter out and the hosts had to review their LBW shout.

During the powerplay as well, Narine was impactful for the side as he was able to take a catch. The all-rounder was stationed at mid-on and Sanju Samson tried to loft it over the in-field but ended up mistiming it. It was a simple catch in the end for Narine as he sent the opposition skipper back to the pavilion. 

Through his contributions in all departments of the game, Sunil Narine wrote history as he became the first player to score a hundred, scalp a wicket and take a catch in a single game of the Indian Premier League.
