Rumors Sunil Narine's demise have been greatly exaggerated. Not only has he continued to be amongst the wickets but he has also been sensational with the bat ever since he was tried as an opener by Melbourne Renegades at the start of 2017. He finished the year as the second-leading wicket-taker and with over 700 runs at a strike rate in excess of 150.

In the IPL, his 16 games yielded just 10 wickets but his economy rate was under 7. In the CPL, he picked up 12 wickets at an economy rate of under 5.5 while he fared even better in the BBL where he picked up 11 wickets at an economy rate of 4.95.
