Speaking on YouTube, Rajasthan Royals star R Ashwin hailed Bumrah and Narine, but also took a slight dig at the former West Indies player’s bowling action, which has been questioned in the past and didn’t want to explain further. “Bumrah has a really good unique point – He has got a distinct advantage compared to other pacers due to his release point. I won’t talk about Sunil Narine. It’s wrong according to my policy. Narine was also getting hit 2-3 seasons ago. This season he’s been outstanding. But let’s not get into that topic,” he said. Wickets have rarely come for the India veteran this season and he has only managed two wickets in nine games, at an economy of 9.00.

MI are bottom of the table with six points in 11 games. Meanwhile, Narine’s KKR are second with 14 points in 10 fixtures.
