New Delhi. This time a lot of runs are being rained in the Indian Premier League. Records of fours and sixes are being made. The special thing is that the batsmen making such records include youth as well as senior and retired cricketers. Take Sunil Narine only. Despite being a specialist bowler, this West Indies player is making waves in batting. Perhaps it is because of Narine’s batting that West Indies captain Rovman Powell is making every effort to bring him back from retirement.
35 year old Sunil Narine plays for Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL. He played an inning of 109 runs against Rajasthan Royals on Tuesday. Sunil Narine, playing the role of opener for KKR, completed his century on the 49th ball itself. Sunil Narine is at third place in the Orange Cap list with 276 runs. Currently in IPL 2024, Sunil Narine has more runs in his name than batsmen like Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan, Jos Buttler, David Warner, Quinton de Kock.

After scoring his first century in IPL, when he was asked about his future plans, he said, ‘Whatever is there now is in front of everyone. But let’s see what happens in the future.
West Indies captain Rovman Powell was also playing in this match. He also hit 2 sixes and a four off Sunil Narine’s ball. After the match, he talked about his game as well as Sunil Narine’s retirement. Powell said, ‘I have been conveying this to Narine for a year, but it is as if he has blocked me. I have conveyed my views to Sunil through Kieron Pollard, Dwayne Bravo, Nicholas Pooran. Hopefully things will be resolved by the time they choose the team. The T20 World Cup is to be played in June this year.
