IPL 2026: Narine Completes 200 Wickets, Becomes First Bowler To Do So With Single Franchise
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Sunil Narine scripted another landmark in an illustrious career by becoming only the third bowler to claim 200 wickets in the Indian Premier League, even as he played a pivotal role in Kolkata Knight Riders bowling out Sunrisers Hyderabad for 165 in 19 overs at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Sunday.
A mainstay of KKR since his debut in 2012, Narine became the first player in IPL history to reach the 200-wicket mark with a single franchise, further underlining his longevity and consistency. He is also the first overseas bowler to enter the elite club. The milestone came during a disciplined spell in which he returned figures of 2/31, including the crucial wicket of Ishan Kishan that halted SRH’s momentum.
SRH had started in explosive fashion after being put in to bat, with Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma dominating the powerplay. Head smashed a blistering 61 off 28 balls, while Kishan added a steady 42, propelling the hosts to 71/1 in six overs and putting KKR under early pressure.
