Sports Desk. Kolkata Knight Riders registered their third win in IPL 2026 on Sunday. KKR defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by seven wickets in the 45th match of the tournament. Sunil Narine has registered three big records in his name in this match. By dismissing two batsmen in the match, he once again proved why he is the most skilled bowler in the IPL.
This veteran spinner of Kolkata Knight Riders completed his two hundred wickets in IPL during the match. With this he became the first foreign bowler to complete 200 wickets in IPL history. He registered a new history in his name by taking the wicket of middle order batsman Salil Arora at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium against Sunrisers Hyderabad. With this, Narine has now become the third bowler to complete 200 wickets in IPL. Before him, this big achievement has been achieved by Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal and fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
The special thing about Narine is that he has achieved this position while playing only for Kolkata Knight Riders since 2012 and he has also become the first bowler to take 200 wickets for any one team.
Became the first all-rounder to achieve this feat
Narine has also scored 1820 runs in IPL. With this, he has become the first all-rounder in IPL history to complete the double of 1000 runs and 200 wickets. Sunil Narine has taken 200 wickets in about 197 IPL matches at an average above 25.
