Sunil Narine came out victorious in the much-anticipated battle against Tendulkar last night by crashing through the senior batsman's gate with a classic off-spin delivery, but eventually his side ended up on the losing side as the Knight Riders slumped to its fifth defeat in the tournament from seven outings.

"Getting Sachin out, is a great wicket. But you have to focus on everybody and hopefully we can come out with a win. It's frustrating for everyone, losing is not a good thing," Narine said at the post match press conference yesterday.
