5 Cricketers and their defining aptitudes

3. Sunil Narine – Mystery deliveries:

Narine’s high-arm bowling action is deceptive for batsmen, and with all the variations he possesses, he more often than not succeeds in bamboozling batsmen. The mystery spinner was signed up by Kolkata for the fifth edition of the Indian Premier League and has been an integral member of the side since then. Narine finished IPL 2012 as the Player of the Tournament with 24 wickets at a miserly 5.47 runs per over. The single biggest plus point of Narine’s bowling is that batsmen struggle to pick him off his hand. Apart from that his deliveries turns quite a bit which makes it even more tough for the batters to manage. If he gets his action sorted out soon the Caribbean star can be one of the prominent spinners in World Cricket.
