T20 World Cup 2021: 5 players who might make a comeback based on IPL 2021 form

3. Sunil Narine

There is no doubt that the best T20 spinner in the West Indies is still Sunil Narine. The Trinidad and Tobago player might not have played international cricket in some time but he remains an asset across the globe in whichever league he plays. His action has been put into question various times, but this time around it was something else that stopped him from making it to the T20 World Cup squad. 

According to the reports which emerged in the aftermath of the West Indies T20 World Cup squad announcement, it was revealed that Narine had failed to meet the fitness standards. He, along with a couple more players, faced a snub due to this. However, Narine’s form in the IPL might just help him get a chance to become T20 World Champions again, having previously been part of the 2012 triumph. 

In the second leg of the IPL 2021, Narine has picked up the Player of the Match award twice in four matches in which his team Kolkata Knight Riders has played. He has picked up six wickets in four matches, bowling at an economy of 6.2. He has proven handy with the bat in one game as well. All of this should be enough for him to claim a spot, but it will be completely on the selectors how they see it.
