'Their Batting Is So Deep, They Can Afford To Take That Risk', Says Clarke On KKR Sending Narine As An Opener
Star Sports Cricket Live: Former Australia cricketer Michael Clarke shared his view on Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) decision of sending Sunil Narine as an opener against Delhi Capitals (DC) and opined that the two-time champion's batting lineup runs deep enough to justify taking "such risks with Narine".
Narine put on an incredible show of ball stringing as he almost hit everything out the ground against DC on Wednesday night and completed his fifty in 21 balls before finishing his innings on 85 off 39, laced with 7 boundaries and as many as maximums.
Speaking on Star Sports Cricket Live, Clarke lauded KKR's decision to send Narine on top of the order as a "smart move" and said, "Look, the thing is, KKR's batting is so deep that you can afford to take that risk with Narine. So, I think it's a smart decision. I think the way he plays is maximum risk, so you have to accept that it's not always going to come off as often as you'd like, or as often as a specialist batsman can do.
