The Trinidad spinner has scalped a total of 162 wickets in 149 matches for KKR across all competitions. In the IPL he has 147 wickets in 140 matches and has taken a total of 15 in 10 matches in the Champions League T20.
“Yeah I have always told Venky Mysore that hopefully I don’t play for any other franchise, I have loved my stay at KKR so hopefully I start and finish her,” Narine told KKR. “I think it’s a great achievement. You don’t see many overseas players stay with one franchise. Luckily, I am one of them and hopefully, I can continue to be with them in the future”, he asserts.
In 2018 IPL, he was the Most Valuable Player and has won it for 2-times. He is also the first bowler in the IPL to scalp 3 four-wicket hauls and held the fastest half-century in the cash-rich league in 15 balls, a record which he held it till 2018.
