Dream11 IPL 2020: Sunil Narine likely contender for a comeback

Earlier in the ongoing Dream11 IPL 2020 season, veteran Kolkata spinner Sunil Narine was summoned by the IPL Governing Council for having a suspect bowling action. However, the cricketer has now been cleared of the same and is eligible to feature in Kolkata’s playing XI. Out of Kolkata’s nine matches this season, Sunil Narine has played only six games where he took five wickets.

On the other hand, Andre Russell has played all nine matches for the franchise, despite his struggles with the bat this season. In nine innings, he has scored only 92 runs at a meagre average of 11.50. Russell’s struggles this season might prompt the Kolkata team management to bring back Sunil Narine in place of the all-rounder.

With the Dream11 IPL policy of having no more than four foreigners in a playing XI at any given time, captain Eoin Morgan and previous game’s ‘Player of the Match’ Lockie Ferguson, are all set to occupy two overseas spots. Pat Cummins is another player who is likely to play against Bangalore, as the Australian pacer has played all matches so far for Kolkata this year. It would be interesting to see if captain Eoin Morgan persists with Andre Russell, or brings back mystery spinner Sunil Narine in place of the struggling all-rounder.
