Kolkata Knight Riders’ spinner Sunil Narine has showered praise on Varun Chakravarthy and called him a quick learner.
Narine, who had been overlooked by the West Indies selectors for the upcoming T20 World Cup, bagged the prized wicket of Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma in the Kolkata Knight Riders seven-wicket win on Thursday.
“Getting Rohit out in any form of cricket is good; he is a key wicket for Mumbai,” said Narine.
“I’m coming off a good amount of cricket in the CPL and The Hundred. It’s getting better and better. It has taken me a while with this new action and I have put in a lot of work into it,” he added.
Narine, who put the breaks on the Mumbai Indians scoring rate, said that the pitch was flat but was not easy to bat.
“I wouldn’t say this pitch was sticky. It was flat but not as flat as last year. My batting depends on what my team requires. If they want to go at the top or at the end, I’ll do it,” said Narine.
Kolkata Knight Riders will face Chennai Super Kings on Sunday in Abu Dhabi.
