Remarkable Sunil Narine

debut: 11/13/02
77,917 runs

Another great start for his team.

71 off of 37 deliveries, 9 fours and 4 sixes striking at 221.87 against PBKS

He’s also currently atop the IPL MVP standings and 2nd in the Orange Cap race behind Kohli (who has played 1 more game)


He also has the 5th most wickets in the IPL this year and 10th in economy rate.

All this at 35 years of age….he’ll be 36 next month.


A nod to Gautam Gambhir who apparently is the one that insisted Narine open the batting and gave him license to play freely.

you seeing a spot that can be occupied by a bajan or its a bajan he'll replace

So says the person who thinks Narine should be picked solely as a batsman big grin big grin big grin

walco was saying its a joke that narine could be considered as a batsman in a world cup team

Russell has also had a really good IPL so far. Both with bat and ball

Pooran has the highest batting average in the IPL (70.00)

They mostly cyah out Hety

Shep has played a few critical innings for his team as has Powell.

So the WI players who have gotten opportunities this season in the IPL have done themselves and the region proud.

I think when Sunil Narine's carrier comes to an end, on reflection he will regret he did not pay more attention to his batting, he is a really good timer of the ball, when ever he hits through the covers it is really good to look at

He was a bat before becoming a bowler. Learned to play playing wind ball cricket.
He has scored a few centuries playing on wind ball teams in T&T.
Its his first love.
