Sunil Narine has been one of the key players for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their IPL journey.
He was one of the main reasons Kolkata Knight Riders won the Indian Premier League trophy back in 2012 and 2014, where he was amongst the best bowlers in the IPL.
Recently, Narine has also improved on his batting being a middle-order batsman who delivers when it matters the most. Let us have a look at how well Sunil Narine has played throughout his IPL career for KKR.
Narine’s number fell a bit off when he was called out for his bowling action and had to change his style of bowling, but he seems to be slowly getting back on track as he looks to lead Kolkata Knight Riders with his bowling and explosive batting.
His contribution in this year’s IPL has also been a lot and he looks forward to helping the team even more.
