#2 Difficulty in facing Sunil Narine
One of the best T20 bowlers, Sunil Narine will be a tough customer to handle in the upcoming series. The change of action in Narine’s bowling has hampered his natural skills to a certain extent but he is still one of the best around and even with his modified action he can keep the batsmen at bay for a long period of time. He can literally turn the ball both ways with an identical action and is a very difficult customer to score off.
Narine has been a terrific bowler for West Indies and has played a pivotal role in helping the Windies win the T20 World Cup in 2012. In the IPL, Narine has been a revelation for the Kolkata Knight Riders and have helped them win the title twice in 2012 and 2014. He has a total of 85 wickets in 66 matches he played in the IPL with an impressive average of 19.04 and an even better economy rate of 6.17.
The Men in Blue will look to play out his 4 stipulated overs and attack the rest. It will be a challenge for the batsmen to face the magician in the land of baseball.
