Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) offie SunilNarine, who has tormented batsmen with his variety and guile in the IndianPremier League (IPL), rates dashing Delhi Daredevils (DD) opener VirenderSehwag as the most dangerous batsman he has bowled to.
"Sehwag by far is the most dangerous batsman I have bowled to. No matterwhat the situation is, he will always go after the bowling, which makes him themost dangerous batsman in the world," Narine, who finished with enviablefigures of 4/13 in the IPL opener against DD, told the media Friday. KolkataKnight Riders won the match by six wickets.
Narine, who took 24 wickets in the last edition of the IPL to help KKR win itsmaiden crown, said skipper Gautam Gambhir has handled him the best.
"Other captains have handled me well but Gambhir has a very good idea ofthe game and handles me really well," said the Caribbean, who prefersgiving short and crisp answers.
The Trinidadian described his trademark 'mohawk' as lucky charm. "It isnot a style statement. Rather, ever since I kept it I have been doing well incricket, so I hope to keep it going."
The off-spinner who missed the purple cap by only one wicket in 2012, is not lookingfor better individual performances, rather hoping his team does well in theirtitle defence. He also attributed his success to hard work and said he wants tocontinue doing the good work on the field.
For Narine, Sri Lankan ace Muttiah Muralitharan is the best spinner in theworld. He also wishes to bowl to another Indian batting master Sunil Gavaskar.
"I have bowled to Sachin Tendulkar and given a chance I would love to bowlto Gavaskar," he added.
