"The job is just to go out there and try to give a good start" - Sunil Narine's success mantra in IPL 2024

Sunil Narine in a recent interview revealed his role in IPL 2024. He also expressed gratitude towards team mentor Gautam Gambhir for giving him the opportunity. Narine told Jio Cinema:

"I haven't opened in such a long time or did much with the bat in the years past. The job is just to go out there and try to give a good start, whatever the situation is, still keep going because if you try to face dot balls in the powerplay, it could hurt you in the backend."

He added:

"With GG (Gambhir) coming back, he gave me the confidence and his assurance that I'll open the batting."
