Kolkata Knight Riders mentor Gautam Gambhir has been really influential in Narine’s rise. During his stint as IPL captain, Gambhir had used Narine as a pinch-hitter at the top of the order. Former India and CSk star wicketkeeper Parthiv Patel praised Gambhir for giving Narine a new role.
“When Gautam Gambhir was captain of KKR, he was completely convinced that Sunil Narine is the kind of player who could win them matches if he opened the batting. He came back to KKR and has done just that. A lot of things make a difference. Knowing you have someone who backs you, allows you to bat with confidence. Without a doubt, his batting is exciting. If you score 85 off 39 balls and it feels like every other ball can go for a four or a six, it is exciting,” Parthiv Patel said as quoted by Jio Cinema.
