#9 Sunil Narine - Kolkata Knight Riders (2012, 2014)
Sunil Narine might not be the same mystery bowler that he used to be but is still one of the most effective spinners in the shortest format. In addition to that, his newly found ability to tonk the ball right at the start of the innings makes him a more dangerous T20 player.
Narine, the seventh highest wicket-taker in IPL, leads Kolkata Knight Riders' wicket-takers list with 112 wickets to his name. In addition to taking wickets, Narine has the ability to restrict the flow of runs and thereby choking the opposition. His economy rate of 6.53 is the best for any bowler in the Indian Premier League.
In recent years, he has also improved a lot in the batting department. His 17-ball 50 against Royal Challengers Bangalore in KKR's opening game of the 2018 season is a testament of the kind of destruction that the Trinidadian can cause with the bat. His strike rate of 168.81 is second best in IPL history, next only to his team-mate Andre Russell.
