Top 5 picks of Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL history

#2 Sunil Narine

Sunil Narine was the Man of the tournament in the IPL 2012

Sunil Narine is probably the best buy KKR have ever had in their auction history. He debuted in IPL playing for KKR in 2012, and since then, he has been a crucial piece for the side. He came to spotlight from his first season itself as his mystery spin was too hot to handle for the batsman. He finished the season as a leading wicket-taker, 24 wickets in 15 matches at an economy of 5.47.

His splendid show with the ball fetched him the Man of the Series Award and KKR, their maiden title.

Since then, he has been the highest wicket-taker for KKR, 112 wickets in 97 innings at a decent economy of 6.54.

He displayed his pinch-hitting capabilities in the 2017 edition. He made full use of the early field restrictions and even has the record of fastest IPL fifty to his name, off 12 balls.
