Sunil Narine Becomes 1st Overseas Spinner To Take 150 IPL Wickets

Caribbean cricketer Sunil Narine created history last Thursday (28th April) night when his team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) faced Delhi Capitals (DC) in the 41st match of the IPL 2022 at Wankhede Stadium. During that match, Narine completed his 150 IPL wickets and became the first overseas spinner to take 150 IPL wickets.

In that KKR vs DC match, DC sent KKR to bat first. KKR struggled most of the first innings but they somehow managed to score 146/9 in 20 overs. Later, DC chased down that target in 19 overs after losing six wickets.

During the second innings of the match, the Trinidadian right-arm off-spinner Sunil Narine had the bowling figures of 4-0-19-1. He successfully trapped Lalit Yadav (22) for an lbw that helped him to complete his 150 IPL wickets.


With that wicket, Narine became the first overseas spinner to record 150 IPL wickets.
