Former India player Aakash Chopra has praised Sunil Narine for his match-winning all-round show in KKR’s match against the Delhi Capitals (DC). He added that the veteran all-rounder could be the greatest cricketer in IPL history.
However, Narine smashed 27 runs off 16 deliveries as KKR set DC a 205-run target. He then registered figures of 3/29 in four overs as well.

In a video shared on his YouTube channel ‘Aakash Chopra’, he said, “A lamp has a genie. When you rub the lamp, the genie comes out and grants you three wishes, which it will fulfill. So the lamp’s genie, Sunil Narine, came out. He was asked to hit in the powerplay, and he said granted. After that, their second wish was for him to take three wickets, because Varun (Chakaravarthy) is not bowling that well, and they needed wickets.”

“He took three wickets, which included Faf du Plessis and Tristan Stubbs’ wickets. Then they said that their last wish was to run out KL Rahul with a direct hit, and he said granted. He did it single-handedly. What a guy. He might be the greatest cricketer in IPL history. He is unreal. He is still going strong,” he further added.

While talking about the KKR’s batting, Aakash Chopra stated that they should have posted a much bigger total.

“Kolkata scored 204, in which Angkrish Raghuvanshi was the highest scorer, but I still feel they are leaving something on the ground. Considering where Rovman Powell comes, and Anukul Roy comes after that, they should have scored 250, keeping in mind the start they got. Kolkata are still alive. Their next three fixtures are against teams that are at the bottom of the table. They also have two successive home games. They will play against CSK, and they have a game against RR. So KKR can still fancy their chances,” Aakash Chopra concluded.
