The mystery spinner Sunil Narine propelled Kolkata Knight Riders to the Indian Premier League title last season. He still continued to trick batsmen this season, who took 15 wickets from nine matches with an economy rate of exactly 6.
It is well known that mystery spinners normally don’t last long, especially with all the technology available today with which to dissect a bowler’s action. Naraine declared in an interview that he is confident and will continue to succeed. He admitted that it is about believing in ones own ability and doing the hard work required to stay at the summit.
While Michael Hussey bossed the game, Narine struggled a bit in KKR’s last match against CSK ending up with figures of 1 for 35. When interrogated to compare the destructiveness of Hussey with that of Chris Gayle, Narine analyzed that they had various methods to attain the same results. He added that when Gayle continues, it’s very hard to maintain his silence. But Michael Hussey always has something up his sleeve. He can strike boundaries and can also sneak into singles. There are not enough bowlers who can bowl dot balls at him. Gayle will strike sixes while Hussey will locate gaps.
Narine disclosed that when it comes to bowling to Gayle, there is no exacting strategy. It is a subject of confidence, remaining positive and wishing Gayle doesn’t decide to target you.
