Dhoni wary of Sunil Narine’s accuracy – Cricket News Update
An upbeat http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sunil-Philip-Narine-c91869’s accuracy in line and length as defending champions Chennai Super Kings get ready to take on Kolkata Knight Riders in their third Indian Premier League final in a row at home
ground MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk on Sunday, May 27, 2012.
"With his action, it is difficult to catch him as to which side he is bowling whether it is the one that comes in to a right hander or it goes out," said Dhoni while speaking to the media reporters at the pre-match press conference
in Chennai on Saturday.
"The variation he has got and the consistency that he has got in maintaining line and length has been crucial. We have seen that consistency from a bowler has always paid dividends," he added further.
Sunil Narine, the 24-year-old KKR off-spinner from Trinidad playing in his maiden IPL edition, has been Knight Riders’ trump card this season and played a key role in their march to the IPL final for the first time in the history
of the tournament. With 24 wickets from 14 game at an impressive average of 11.95, Narine finds himself just a scalp away from the purple cap, as he trails current holder http://www.senore.com/Cricket/M-Morkel-c73528 (25) of Delhi Daredevils by just one wicket. Narine’s bowling average as
well as economy rate (5.20) is the least among all the bowlers this season.
The 30-year-old Ranchi wicketkeeper batsman also lauded KKR's http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 recruit for the variation in his bowling and that too with much accuracy and consistency and said that the rookie off-spinner has all the traits to be a successful
bowler in the shortest format of the game.
"If you have both consistency and line and length and got the variations, the bowler will be successful more often than not in this format since the batsmen look to take you on," said the Chennai skipper, who is also the captain of Indian national team.
Despite an average performance in the round http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rajasthan-c837 Royals to allow Dhoni and men to make it to the knock-out stage
where they crushed http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780 Daredevils to confirm a berth in Sunday’s final. It is pertinent to mention here that a victory tonight would complete CSK’s hat-trick of titles.
