Expert Insight
- Kuldeep’s Clear Dominance: In just two innings, Kuldeep Yadav has managed to dismiss Sunil Narine twice, making him one of the few bowlers with a perfect record against Narine.
- Narine’s Struggle: Narine has scored only 4 runs off 3 balls against Kuldeep, which shows he hasn’t been able to settle or attack him at all.
- Quick Dismissals: Despite a batting strike rate of 133.33, the sample is very small, and both dismissals suggest Narine struggles to read Kuldeep’s variations early.
Why This Face-off Matters Today
Sunil Narine often comes out aggressively in the powerplay for KKR, but facing Kuldeep Yadav could be a big hurdle.
If Kuldeep bowls early or in the middle overs, Delhi Capitals could target Narine’s wicket to put KKR under pressure right from the start.
