Sunil Narine has credited Gautam Gambhir for giving him confidence to open the innings for KKR once again. Sunil Narine has been in splendid form as he scored his maiden IPL hundred with just 49 deliveries.
Sunil Narine once again became one of the most fearsome openers in this season of the IPL. He started opening the innings once again for KKR as soon as Gautam Gambhir was appointed as the mentor of the side.
Sunil Narine has so far scored 276 runs in this season and credited Gautam Gambhir for his resurgence as the opener of KKR. Sunil Narine also asked if it was a joke if someone had told him that he was on the list of Orange Cap.
Sunil Narine said, “I think it would have been a joke because I hadn’t opened the bat for a few years. I had in the past but didn’t believe it. With GG coming back, he gave me the confidence and assurance that I would do well. I had to give the team a good start. The job is to give a good start, whatever the situation is. We have an understanding of the pitch. It won’t be easy. We have to make use of the powerplay. Try to pick wickets and restrict them to as low a total as possible.”
