When KKR’s Ajinkya Rahane came for the toss, it was a shock to many Kolkata fans when he announced that their star player, Sunil Narine, would not be part of the playing XI. That’s correct, Sunil Narine is not playing in today’s game.
KKR is currently facing Rajasthan Royals at Guwahati’s Barsapara Stadium, and the defending champions are looking to get back on track after their first game didn’t end well.
Now, speaking about Sunil Narine, it has come to light that he is unwell, which is the reason he is not playing today’s game. But do you know when this loyal KKR player last missed a game for the Kolkata franchise? Well, this is surely going to come as a shock!
When was the last time Sunil Narine missed a game for KKR
After exactly 1,617 days, Sunil Narine has missed a game again. He was also absent from KKR’s match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on October 21, 2020, at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi. At that time,, the Caribbean player was not fully fit, which was the reason he missed the game. It was Eoin Morgan who was leading the KKR side back then.
