Kolkata Knight Riders all-rounder Sunil Narine has truly set the Indian Premier League (IPL) on fire with his breathtaking knocks at the top of the batting order. The West Indian has scored 47 and 85 for his franchise in the last two matches, repaying the faith reposed in him by the KKR management. Narine, who also remains active on social media, shared an intriguing Instagram story about the Royal Challengers Bengaluru franchise that has fans talking. It was a fan post that Narine shared, which sent social media into a frenzy.
In the post, the fan claimed that Narine said that he likes to score runs against RCB as the franchise’s bowling attack is usually weak. “I like to score runs against RCB because their bowling is weak,” the report said.
Although Narine made no such comment after the match, the fact that he shared the post himself on Instagram left many baffled. Here is the message:
Many fans were stunned to see Narine share the post on his official Instagram account.
Narine was the Player of the Match after KKR’s win over RCB. After the match, he had said: “It’s a great milestone (500 T20s). Hopefully 500 more will come. It’s just the confidence and the support staff that gives the encouragement. Also the hard work. Powerplay over is the hardest over – just You have to let go and keep it tight. Helps when you win. Players have complete freedom to do what they want to do.”
Narine was also named Player of the Match for KKR’s win over Delhi Capitals. After that win, the West Indian all-rounder had said: “Cricket is all about batting, so contributing with the bat is nice, but I am also enjoying my bowling. (On beating the order with Abu Dhabi Knight Riders) We had enough hitters, so opening was not necessary then. Ultimately it’s about what the team needs. Sleeping with Salt is good, he takes the pressure off me, so it’s good to bat with him. On such a good wicket We bowled well and were on the money, so a total team effort from us tonight.”
