    "editor1": "<p>Kolkata, April 14 (Cricketnmore) Kolkata Knight Riders captain Gautam Gambhir on Thursday effusively praised Sunil Narine, saying it was time he trusted the Caribbean as a willower who was also the leader of the attack with the leather.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Man of the match Narine justified his promotion as an opening bat by cracking a 18-ball 37 to set the stage for his side&#39;s eight-wicket win over Kings XI Punjab in their Indian Premier League match at the Eden Gardens here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Responding to the Kings&#39; 170\/9, the Knights raced to 171\/2 with 21 balls to spare.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I need to start trusting Narine with the bat now,&quot; said Gambhir at the prize distribution ceremony.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Describing Narine as a quality bowler, Gambir said: &quot;He was the leader of the attack irrespective of the conditions.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Narine kept things tight with the ball, giving only 19 runs in his four overs, besides claiming the wicket of Marcus Stoinis.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Explaining the reasons for sending Narine at the top of the order, Gambhir said: &quot;He can hit a big ball, we have a long batting line-up, and so we sent Sunil in at the top. He won&#39;t face many balls at No. 9 anyway.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Narine said he enjoyed batting.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It came off today. Some days it might not. Yes, I enjoyed batting. I opened there at the BBL (Big Bash League where he plays for Melbourne Renegades) and today I said &#39;anything for the team&#39;.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He said with the ball, he only tries to keep things simple, by sticking to the basics.<\/p>\r\n",
