Kolkata Knight Riders: Kolkata Knight Riders’ seasoned campaigner Sunil Narine has attributed the franchise’s four‑match winning streak in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 to collective effort, experience, and careful planning. After being winless in their first six games, KKR have won four straight games to keep themselves in slight contention for the playoffs.

“I think it’s all 12 guys on the team who are getting up and trying to contribute in whatever way they can, trying to stick to their roles. And, obviously, when you win one and two, you’re on a roll, so you continue doing that.

“So hopefully we can continue the same momentum. It’s going to be tough beating RCB because they are playing good cricket, but I think it’s all about how you start, whether you bat or you bowl,” said Narine in a pre-game chat with the broadcasters.

Asked about his own bowling, where he’s picked 10 games in nine matches, Narine said, “The body is good. Even though IPL is long, you have a decent amount of breaks to kind of reflect and relax and just get your mind off cricket at times.”

“So hopefully we can continue the same momentum. It’s going to be tough beating RCB because they are playing good cricket, but I think it’s all about how you start, whether you bat or you bowl,” said Narine in a pre-game chat with the broadcasters.

“It’s tough, but it’s more about reflecting on your game, what you can do, and focusing on what is best for you at that point in time. I love watching the game, so I watch probably nearly every single game, so you observe batsmen, and obviously you see who is in form, who’s not out of form. So obviously you have to plan, but I think it’s more of the experience and watching the cricket live.”
