From Chris Gayle’s lusty blows, Sunil Narine’s all-round show to Andre Russell’s explosive strike rate, the Caribbean flavour is never out of fashion in the IPL. Just as Dwayne Bravo’s ‘champion’ tune is never far from the lips of most fans either.
But it’s not just the love of the fans, West Indian cricketers are walking the talk. The first ten days of this edition of the IPL has been littered with match-altering knocks from the Caribbean imports.
Kolkata Knight Riders’ Andre Russell is currently the second-highest run-scorer in the IPL with 153 runs from four matches, while his teammate Sunil Narine tops the charts among bowlers with seven wickets in four games.
