One of the best T20 bowlers, Sunil Narine will be a tough customer to handle in the upcoming series. The change of action in Narine’s bowling has hampered his natural skills to a certain extent but he is still one of the best around and even with his modified action he can keep the batsmen at bay for a long period of time. He can literally turn the ball both ways with an identical action and is a very difficult customer to score off.

Narine has been a terrific bowler for West Indies and has played a pivotal role in helping the Windies win the T20 World Cup in 2012. In the IPL, Narine has been a revelation for the Kolkata Knight Riders and have helped them win the title twice in 2012 and 2014. He has a total of 85 wickets in 66 matches he played in the IPL with an impressive average of 19.04 and an even better economy rate of 6.17.
The Men in Blue will look to play out his 4 stipulated overs and attack the rest. It will be a challenge for the batsmen to face the magician in the land of baseball.

His vast experience has led him to know the pulse of his readers and he cross-checks information from a number of credible sources before writing a single word for their sake.
A former Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) U14 and U16 player, Arya's tryst with cricket began after watching Sachin Tendulkar in action during his childhood. He is an ardent fan of Mumbai Indians (MI) owing to Tendulkar's initial involvement and also bleeds blue for his national team. He is an admirer of Test cricket as he feels the red-ball format teaches one about every facet of life.
Arya, who feels ODIs should not be completely replaced with T20Is owing to the former's pacing and charm, would like to go back in time to 1998 and watch the Master Blaster in action. He has experience in interviewing a few Bengali cricketers such as Kazi Junaid Saifi, Shib Shankar Pal, Sayan Ghosh and Prayas Ray Barman. He has also translated a couple of Bengali cricket books, and made Indian Premier League (IPL) pre-match videos.
He likes to spend time with his family and binge on web series during his spare time.
