In the Indian Premier League (IPL), Sunil Narine of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) has become the best wicket-taker for a single franchise, surpassing even Lasith Malinga. Narine’s crucial two-wicket haul greatly aided KKR’s victory in a recent match against RCB. With 172 wickets in 169 matches, this accomplishment puts Narine sixth on the all-time IPL wicket-takers list.
Narine is having a fantastic season, displaying his batting and bowling abilities under the guidance of former KKR captain Gautam Gambhir. He has been a key member of KKR’s season, amassing 286 runs and nine wickets in seven games.
KKR, inspired by Phil Salt’s stunning 48, amassed a formidable 222/6 in the exciting match versus RCB. Despite the heroic efforts of Will Jacks and Rajat Patidar from the RCB, KKR’s bowlers, under the direction of Narine, were able to hold the total and win by a slim margin.
After gaining 10 points, this victory moves KKR up to the second spot in the IPL rankings. However, RCB remains stuck at the bottom of the standings with just two points after one victory and seven defeats. Narine’s outstanding performance adds yet another chapter to his historic IPL career as he continues to thrive for KKR.
