2. Sunil Narine (West Indies)
I’ve said this a dozen times and I will say it again – this guy really needs to put a lid on the amount of grease he applies on his mohawk. His effectiveness could take a beating one day if he isn’t able to grip the ball properly.
Jokes apart, Narine is one crafty customer. Having re-modelled his bowling action in 2011, he returned to be one of the surprise packages in the 2012 IPL, helping the Kolkata Knight Riders to their maiden title after a five-year wait.
The carom ball, his weapon of choice, has been highly effective in bamboozling the opposition batsmen to no end. Narine also possesses the off-spinner’s traditional stock delivery – the off break – which somehow manages to have that extra bit of zing when he sends it down.
A handful in the middle overs, Narine is at his best during the time when batsmen have to score the maximum number of runs possible in a very short time, and if they happen to run up against him, it’s usually the bowler who wins. Only Test cricket remains for Narine to succeed in.
