R Ashwin rakes up controversy by targeting Sunil Narine’s bowling action Sunil Narine has been sensational for Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League 2024. He has scored 380 runs in 10 matches at a strike rate of 179.24. 2024. The southpaw has hit 1 hundred and 2 fifties. Even in the bowling department, Narine has taken 13 wickets in 10 matches, at an economy of 6.72. In the 17th season, bowlers are finding hard to contain the batters. Jasprit Bumrah (6.25) and Narine are the only bowlers in the Purple Cap race, who have an economy less than 7. Bumrah is leading the standings with 17 dismissals in 11 games with 17 scalps. Rajasthan Royals spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has raked up controversy by taking a dig Sunil Narine’s bowling action. “Bumrah’s release point gives him distinct advantage over other bowlers. I won’t talk about Sunil Narine as it is wrong according to my policy. Narine was conceding runs 2-3 seasons ago. This season he has been magnificent but let’s not get into that topic,” he said. Ashwin has taken just two wickets at an economy of 9.00 but RR are leading the points table. KKR are second, with Narine making important contributions. On the other hand, Mumbai are last in the table despite Bumrah’s brilliance. Good that he mentioned the elephant in the room.

He got subbed for Yudhvir.

He asked if it is good in hilly areas ie if it is within range is it worth driving. Range and charging stations is a different issue though range is improving esp in the new Nexon.

Havs to wait till Yash is Piyush's age.

We need more lower order hitters/ARs like Ramandeep.

The season where Mukesh C and Simarjeet were both bowling for CSK was when they last had a good bowling attack.

Yup tata EVs are good.

Good finisher and ball striker Ramandeep.

All this only comes after the fact and they have impressed.

Padikkal chutya. Not good enough fielding and fitness from lsg. They could have had him early otherwise. Mohsin has hit his head while diving, it looked nasty.

What is it that teams are not doing to get Narine out cheaply? He is destructive but not this good. Hardly remember him playing anything like this for WI

The jerk in his elbow at the time of delivery actually reminds me of Pakistani bowlers currently. They all have it. Maybe that's where the skid comes from.

These ipl teams are not giving younger Indian bowlers with promise a chance unless they have no choice or they're already practically eliminated. Disappointing. He has bowled well previously for CSK too.

Was that a speed gun error? One Gleeson ball was 146.4kph.

I know all that, I'm just mentioning hlw this will be spun. It's the first decent game he has had all tournament.
