Kolkata Knight Riders all-rounder Sunil Narine could be handed the Most Valuable Player of the Indian Premier League 2024 season. Such is his impact for the KKR team that there’s hardly stopping the West Indian ace. In match 47 involving KKR versus Delhi Capitals at Eden Gardens, Narine bowled a solid four-over spell, claiming a wicket and conceding 24 runs. Narine stopped the flow of runs, and alongside fellow spinner Varun Chakravarthy, the duo turned things in KKR’s favor. Narine made history with his wicket, becoming the most successful bowler at a venue in the IPL. He went past the long-standing record of former Mumbai Indians pacer Lasith Malinga.
DC, who chose to bat first against KKR, scored 153/9 in 20 overs. KKR did an excellent job keeping DC under the cosh on a suitable surface. Phil Salt and Narine led the foundation in response as KKR claimed a 7-wicket win. Shreyas Iyer played a captain’s knock for KKR, who remain second in the 10-team table.
Here, we analyze the bowlers who have the most wickets at a venue in the IPL.
