Cricket: Marcus Stoinis has sent a timely message to the Australian selectors after smashing a match winning century in the IPL
Stoinis SMACKS 19 boundaries in epic ton | 08:31 Jonny Bairstow smashed a “ballistic” unbeaten century as Punjab Kings recorded the highest successful run chase in Twenty20 cricket with an eight-wicket thrashing of Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League .
“When you’ve to chase 200-plus you’ve to take risks in the powerplay. Try and whack it as hard as possible.”Jonny Bairstow celebrates after scoring a century. Shashank Singh also impressed with the bat, making 68 not out off 28 balls with eight sixes and two fours. “Guys can hit balls for long periods of time, the coaches, training, the dew, dot balls become wide after reviews and you get the extra ball. Stats are going out of the window.”
“This match, the way Jonny batted was a huge positive. It was a great learning for me, we still have five more matches to go.” Despite the two dismissals, Shashank continued to unleash big shots, making sure Punjab did not lose their nerve while chasing the big total.Earlier, Kolkata got off to a blistering start with Phil Salt and Narine sharing 138 runs off just 69 balls for the first wicket after being put in to bat.
