The assistant coach Kalkata Knight Riders (KKR) Ottis Gibson wiped all the fears of Sunil Narine in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025). Kolkata is going to take over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Eden Gardens in Calcutta. One of the main concerns for KKR is the bad form of their introductory dough Sunil Narine.
Southpaw has not only seen 51 runs in three shifts, on average 17 and a strike rate of 135.71. Ottis Gibson, however, does not care too much about its form and says there are still early days at the tournament supported Narine’s ability to tear any bowling attack on her day.

“No concern, still on the first days in the tournament. Of course we know what he can do. We know what he did last year. We are still trying to set a certain consistency as a team, but we know that Sunil Narine, on the day he can dismantle any bowling attack and look forward to it.”
Narine got the season for an amazing start and in the opening season she recorded a breathtaking 44 (26) against Royal Challengers Bengalur (RCB). However, he cheaply released against the Indians in Mumbai (Mi) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and in the next two shifts he scored 0 and 7.

In addition, Gibson said that their team’s main goal was to take goals with a new ball, giving a great opportunity for Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine to accumulate pressure in the middle.
“The last game we played very well, Sunrises also had a Powerhouse batting line up. Our superpowers, especially our two local headmasters, bowed very well and took the goals in PowerPlay, which is the key to us.
Meanwhile, the KKR will eagerly continue his victory after a comprehensive victory against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Currently, they rank fifth in the point table with two wins out of four matches with four points to their name.
