The legend, the greatest t20 bowler ever
Sunil Narine
@sgtdjones
T20 is a batsmen game, for that reason Narine is the greatest t20 player the Caribbean has ever produced, in my opinion

Yogesh: "Narine and drop catches were the difference"
Being a Trini, he will always be regarding as a pelter by Caribbean nationals.
The regional "pelter" chatter is driven by old video clips and stadium banter. The actual hard data shows that Sunil Narine didn't just survive a career-threatening obstacle, he evolved through it to become arguably the greatest, most legally bulletproof T20 utility cricketer to ever play the game.
Sunil Narine’s bowling data proves that his remodeled action has been an undeniable, historic success, thoroughly shattering the myth that he would fade away without his original release. When a bowler completely rebuilds their action under heavy scrutiny, they typically lose either their wicket-taking threat, their accuracy, or both. Narine lost neither.Instead, he transitioned from a pure "strike wizard" into arguably the most unhittable, disciplined defensive weapon in T20 history.
He remains a premier draft pick globally, from the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) to the International League T20 (ILT20), because his legal, remodelled action is still a bankable guarantee of 4 cheap overs.
If his remodeled action wasn't viable, he would have been dropped or worked out by analysts years ago
