Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have made a bold statement about their star player Sunil Narine, hailing him as “The G.O.A.T” (Greatest Of All Time) in a recent Instagram post ahead of the TATA IPL 2025 season. The franchise shared a striking image of Narine with the caption “The G.O.A.T’s legacy 💫💜”
The image shows Narine in KKR’s purple jersey, highlighting the team’s admiration for the West Indian all-rounder who has been an integral part of the franchise for over a decade.
Narine’s Enduring Legacy With KKR
Sunil Narine has been with Kolkata Knight Riders since 2012, making him one of the longest-serving foreign players for any IPL franchise. His mystery spin bowling and explosive batting abilities have made him an invaluable asset for the team over the years.
Narine played a crucial role in KKR’s championship victories in 2012 and 2014, consistently delivering match-winning performances with both bat and ball. His ability to adapt his game over the years—transforming from primarily a bowler to a dangerous pinch-hitting opener—showcases his versatility as a cricketer.
In the 2024 IPL season, Narine was in exceptional form, contributing significantly to KKR’s championship run with his all-round performances. His effectiveness in the powerplay overs with the ball and ability to provide quick starts with the bat made him one of the standout performers of the tournament.
Kolkata Knight Riders: A Franchise History
Kolkata Knight Riders, owned by Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment along with actress Juhi Chawla and her spouse Jay Mehta, is one of the most successful teams in IPL history. Founded in 2008, the franchise has won the IPL trophy three times (2012, 2014, and 2024).
As KKR continues to face challenges this season, fans will be watching closely to see if Narine can continue to justify his “G.O.A.T” status and help KKR redeem their status.
