The Kolkata Knight Riders team management stood by their star spinner Sunil Narine, who won’t be able to bowl in their Champions League T20 summit clash against Chennai Super Kings in Bangalore on Saturday, and is hopeful that he will come back strongly despite this setback.
‘Sunil is not only a fantastic cricketer but also a brilliant team man. Right now, we are not thinking about anything else but we want him to come back strongly and not get disheartened. We are with him and we will help him in all necessary manner,’ KKR Team Director Joy Bhattacharjya told PTI Friday. Asked if KKR would appeal against the decision, Bhattacharjya clarified, ‘As per the rules and guidelines of the CLT20, there are no provisions for appealing. If three umpires -- two on-field and the third umpire have felt that his action is suspect, you have to respect their decision.’ Narine’s quicker delivery has come under scanner during the ongoing Champions League T20 and on-field umpires C Shamshuddin and Anil Chaudhary reported during the final group league match against the Dolphins.
