    "editor1": "Kolkata Knight Riders: Struggling three-time winners Kolkata Knight Riders have confirmed that Sunil Narine has recovered from his illness and has returned to training ahead of their match against Lucknow Super Giants. Varun Chakravarthy remains uncertain due to a finger injury.<p>\u201cSunil became ill on the morning of our match against PBKS, which is why he wasn\u2019t part of the XI. He has felt better since then and trained with the team both yesterday and today. He batted and bowled,\u201d the franchise said in a statement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>KKR also provided an update on Varun, revealing that the mystery spinner injured his left-hand little finger while fielding against Sunrisers Hyderabad. \u201cThe medical team has been working closely with him. He bowled his full set at training today. We will know about their participation in tomorrow\u2019s game against LSG at the toss,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Narine\u2019s return is expected to significantly strengthen KKR\u2019s bowling attack, which struggled in their last match against the Punjab Kings. This was the first time since 2019 that the team played without both Narine and Varun. With only Anukul Roy as the main spinner in that game, KKR lacked their usual control during the middle overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>There is additional good news for the franchise, as Cameron Green is likely to resume bowling duties from the LSG match onward. The all-rounder had been held back so far due to workload management in coordination with Cricket Australia, even though he has been bowling regularly in training sessions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>After managing only one point from three matches, KKR will be hoping the return of key players like Narine and possibly Varun can help revive their campaign and restore much-needed balance to their bowling unit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>There is additional good news for the franchise, as Cameron Green is likely to resume bowling duties from the LSG match onward.

He shared his ongoing struggles with injuries and the major changes he made to his bowling technique. \u201cI faced a lot of problems related to injuries, mainly a shin splint issue that wasn\u2019t getting better,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/h5>",
