600 Wickets & Counting: Sunil Narine Leads KKR’s New Era
Kolkata Knight Riders have signaled a “leaner, more tactical” era by retaining Sunil Narine for IPL 2026 while releasing other veterans. Narine enters the season in elite form, having recently joined Rashid Khan and Dwayne Bravo in the exclusive “600 T20 Wicket Club” on December 3, 2025.
Statistically, Narine’s 2025 season was a testament to his longevity, where he maintained an economy of 7.80 and struck at 170.83 with the bat. With KKR bringing in fresh pace power like Matheesha Pathirana and Cameron Green, Narine’s role as the “anchor of mystery” in the middle overs will be more critical than ever. Whether he opens the batting or plays as a floater, the 37-year-old remains the “MVP” potential of the 2026 roster.
