The 35-year-old player asserted that in KKR team, players have the full freedom to do what they want.
“It’s a nice milestone (500 T20s). Hopefully 500 more are to come. It’s just the self belief and the support staff giving the encouragement. Also the hard work. Powerplay over is the hardest over – just have to let that go and keep it tight. Helps when you win. Players have full freedom to do what they want to do,” the all-rounder stated in the post-match presentation

Earlier, before the start of the clash, Narine became the fourth player and just the second spinner to make 500 appearances in T20 format.

Before Narine, his former teammates Kieron Pollard and Dwayne John Bravo held the first and second positions for most appearances in T20 format, respectively.

Pollard is at the summit with 660 T20 appearances, while Bravo is in the second spot with 573 appearances under his belt. Pakistan all-rounder Shoaib Malik is in the third spot with 542 T20 appearances to his name.
