Gautam Gambhir’s call validates Sunil Narine’s Opening in nostalgic throwback to 2017 IPL

Sunil Narine‘s explosive batting at the top of the order has surprised many in IPL 2024. However, this isn’t a new strategy for him. Under Gautam Gambhir‘s captaincy in 2017, Narine thrived in a similar role. Interestingly, Gambhir is now the KKR mentor, and it seems his influence has revived Narine’s batting prowess. In the recent match against DC, Narine smashed a belligerent 85 off just 39 balls (strike rate 217.9), peppering the attack with 7 boundaries and 7 sixes. This dominant performance highlights the potential benefits of utilizing Narine’s batting talent strategically.
