A ‘Go To’ man in Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for more than a decade, Sunil Narine will have to play out of his skin to justify his place in the playing eleven when his team face Punjab Kings in a must-win Indian Premier League game, in Kolkata on May 8.
The Trinidad man, who has played 158 games spread across 12 seasons, including the current one, has 159 wickets along with 1,039 runs with four half-centuries after he worked on his batting once his action was deemed suspect and he lost fizz of the pitch.
Narine hasn’t been the same “mystery bowler”, who burst into the T20 franchise scene, for many seasons but he would be first one to admit he has been insanely lucky.
