Kolkata, April 27 -- During the Indian Premier League (IPL) clash against Punjab Kings (IPL), the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) opening pair of Phil Salt and Sunil Narine registered the franchise's fourth-highest partnership in the tournament history.

Salt and Narine continued their red-hot form in the ongoing season as they amassed 138 runs in just 62 balls. Salt played a knock of 75 in 37 balls, with six fours and six sixes while Narine scored 71 in 32 balls, with nine fours and four sixes.

The highest partnership by a KKR pair for any wicket in IPL history is by Gautam Gambhir and Chris Lynn, who stitched a 184-run stand for the first wicket while chasing 184 runs against now-defunct Gujarat Lions in IPL 2017.
