Sunil Narine reveals mystery behind his low-key celebrations

In the dynamic world of cricket, Sunil Narine is renowned not only for his mystery spin deliveries and brutal power-hitting but also for his mysterious smile. Recently, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) standout decided to unravel this enigma, disclosing the rationale behind his subtle celebrations.

Narine, a key player for KKR in the current Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season, has been in exceptional form, making significant contributions with both bat and ball. He revealed that his calm demeanor in high-pressure situations is influenced by the wise advice imparted by his father.

During an honest discussion on the Knights Dug Out podcast, Narine shared insights into the guiding principles that shape his game.

“Growing up, a lesson from my dad was that ‘if you get someone out today, you still have to play them tomorrow and next time’. I think it’s enjoy the moment as much as you can, but don’t overdo it,” Narine said on the podcast.

The 35-year-old all-rounder has been outstanding in IPL 2024, displaying his versatility with stellar performances. With 461 runs in 11 matches at a remarkable strike rate of 183.66 and an impressive average of 41.90, including a century and three half-centuries, Narine has made a lasting impact with the bat. On the bowling front, he has taken 14 wickets at an exceptional economy rate of 6.6.
