In addition to his great performance, Sunil Narine was also pictured using a unique tactic while bowling. In the first innings, Sunil Narine dismissed Asif Ali with a delivery that kept low to pick his only wicket of the match. However, it was his run-up which caught the eye of many cricket fans. While bowling the wicket-taking delivery, Sunil Narine kept his bowling harm behind his back throughout the entirety of his run-up, as he hid the ball from the batsman. The special delivery completely outfoxed Asif Ali, as it hurried off the surface and hit the stumps.
The TKR cricketer talked about his performance after the CPL 2020 game, as he revealed that he has been training hard during the lockdown. Sunil Narine also admitted that he tends to start well in the tournament and this time, he is focussed on maintaining his form throughout the CPL 2020.
Kolkata Knight Riders will be thrilled to see Sunil Narine in such great touch as the cricketer will be expected to play a crucial part for the team in IPL 2020. The off-spinner, who made his debut with the Kolkata Knight Riders in 2012, had recently talked about how India is like his second home. Over the years, Sunil Narine has established himself as one of the best cricketers in the IPL. The bowler is also the highest wicket-taker when it comes to foreign spinners in the league.
