IPL 2017: 5 reasons why Sunil Narine should be dropped by KKR

#3 Batsmen are having no trouble picking him

Once feared, Narine is now easily taken to the cleaners by the batsmen

It had become apparent after Narine made his comeback following his ban that he had lost his variations. However, aside from the that, the West Indian has been unable to extract the kind of turn and bounce off the pitch that he used to in his heydey.

The very batsmen who once feared Narine are now playing him with considerable ease. In fact, as we saw in KKR’s first match, he was taken to the cleaners by the likes of Brendon McCullum and Dinesh Karthik. Narine had indeed lost his mojo.

It is not that the West Indian is bowling in poor areas. However, the batsmen are able to read him and play accordingly. They do not look in any discomfort whatsoever, and as a result, KKR have not benefitted much from his bowling so far this season.
