Marco Jansen castled Sunil Narine in the first over itself during the Punjab Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders match on Tuesday, April 15, at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur.
Narine, who was the Most Valuable Player in the previous edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), has not been able to set the stage on fire in IPL 2025.
In the match against Punjab Kings, while chasing 112, Sunil Narine got out after scoring 5 runs off 4 balls. On the last ball of the first over, left-arm pacer Marco Jansen, who opened the bowling instead of Arshdeep Singh, bowled a length delivery on off-stump.

PBKS were told to improve powerplay bowling
In an interaction on ESPNCricinfo ahead of the PBKS vs KKR clash, the former Punjab Kings coach Wasim Jaffer said that the bowling in the powerplay has been a big concern for the Shreyas Iyer-led side. He stated:
While talking about the most expensive spinner in IPL auction history, Yuzvendra Chahal, Wasim Jaffer said that he needs to show more aggression with the ball. He elaborated:
"As soon as he gets hit, he tries to slide it down outside of the stump and bowls those sliders rather than looking to spin the ball. We've seen Vipraj Nigam do that. We've seen other leg-spinners do that. I think he just needs to be a little bit more aggressive in his approach."
