The off-spinner from Trinidad took the IPL by storm with his unique bowling style in 2012. He was bought by KKR for that edition and has been a part of the franchise ever since.

Narine took 24 wickets in 15 matches at an outstanding average of 13.50. In a format where the batsmen dominate, Narine managed an economy of just 5.47.
His best figures of 5/19 came against KXIP at the Eden Gardens. He bamboozled the Punjab line-up with his variations. Narine was one of the chief reasons for KKR making the final that year, which they eventually won.
