He certainly comes into our calculations KKR head coach Brendon McCullum on spinner Sunil Narines return in IPL 2021

West Indies spinner Sunil Narine is yet to feature in IPL 2021 for Kolkata Knight Riders. The right-arm bowler has been a regular member of the side but ever since he was forced to correct his action to prevent sanctions for bowling with an 'illegal action', he just hasn't been the same.

In IPL 2020 in the UAE, Narine only played 10 matches, unlike the scenario where he'd be playing all the matches. He scored 120 runs and picked 5 wickets.

KKR head coach Brendon McCullum, after his wards suffered a 38-run defeat to the Royal Challengers Bangalore in Chennai on Sunday, said that Narine will be back in the scheme of things very soon. He also revealed that he was not match fit and now that their first combination didn't produce the goods, the management is likely to field fresh legs for the Mumbai leg.

"Sunil Narine stood on the rope before our first game which means he has had an injury where he was not 100 per cent fit. He certainly comes into our calculations, he was touch and go for this game against RCB but we opted for Shakib who has been good for us and he gives us an extra bit of batting. After three games, the guys have played well, we have not got the results, we probably would need some fresh legs for slightly different wickets in Mumbai."
