CPL 2016: 5 outstanding performers of the first week

4) Sunil Narine, Trinbago Knight Riders

Sunil Narine’s economy rate in this year’s CPL is 4.56

Sunil Narine is one of the most effective bowlers in the shortest format of the game. He is undoubtedly one of the biggest match-winners there are around, as he generally concedes less than 6 runs per over. He has had a terrific start, continuing his good form from the tri-series recently.

He picked up a brace in the first two matches that the TKR went on to win, he followed that up with a wicket in each of the final two games he played. Remarkably, in the match against the Tallawahs, where his team conceded 192 runs, he bowled 4 overs for 9 runs!
