Watch: KKR fledgling Angkrish Raghuvanshi's modest declaration after blazing IPL half-century vs DC

18-year-old Angkrish Raghuvanshi smashed 54 off just 27 balls as Kolkata Knight Riders hit 272-7 - the second-highest total in Indian Premier League history – in their 106 run victory over Delhi Capitals on Wednesday.

The teenager modestly declared “it was pretty simple” and it was all thanks to the guidance of his coach Abhishek Nayar.

Sunil Narine blitzed 85 off 39 balls, while Andre Russell and Rinku Singh also made big-hitting contributions as Kolkata finished just five short of Sunrisers Hyderabad's IPL record total.

Delhi Capitals made just 166, leaving coach Ricky Ponting saying he felt “embarrassed.”

Kolkata's huge total came just a week after Hyderabad posted a record 277-3, breaking the previous IPL best of 263-5 set by Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2013.

Kolkata, who were crowned IPL champions in 2012 and 2014, have won all three matches in the new season and top the 10-team table.
