IPL Auction 2024: Team-wise one player who was lucky to be retained
Some players will breathe a sigh of relief as their franchises haven’t lost faith in them despite witnessing their underwhelming performances in the previous season.
4. Kolkata Knight Riders- Sunil Narine
Sunil Narine has been associated with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) since 2012 and in these 11 years, he has delivered a lot of match-winning moments to the side. In KKR’s two title victories (2012 and 2014), the West Indies all-rounder made essential contributions with the ball.
However, the star player hasn’t displayed his best for the franchise in the previous two seasons. In 2023, he took only 11 wickets in 14 games at an economy of 7.98. As a batter, he scored only 21 runs in 10 innings at an average of 3.00. These ordinary numbers do not suit Narine’s stature as he still has the potential to stun his opponents with his exemplary all-round talent.
Knight Riders have retained their veteran stalwart for the 2024 season and now, KKR fans will keep their expectations high from their seasoned match-winner for the 2024 IPL.
