IPL 2017: 5 KKR players that RCB would love to have

#5 Sunil Narine

Sunil Narine has been the trump card for Gautam Gambhir

Sunil Narine, the mystery spinner turned into a hard-hitting opening batsman, has been the trump card for Gautam Gambhir and the Kolkata Knight Riders in this edition of the tournament. With a catalogue of variations and expertise, the West Indian is one of the most economical bowlers in the shortest format of the game.

He provides the Knight Riders crucial wickets in the middle overs to dent the opposition in posting a huge total or even chasing down one. His batting has been a huge bonus for the Knight Riders as he has complemented Gambhir’s calmness really well.

The problem for Virat Kohli is the performance of his overseas recruits. With the veteran Shane Watson struggling to make any impact throughout the season, the management would have loved somebody like a Narine to contribute with both bat and ball.
