“The job is just to go out there and try to give a good start” – Sunil Narine’s success mantra in IPL 2024
In a recent interview, Sunil Narine disclosed his position in the IPL 2024. He also thanked his team mentor, Gautam Gambhir, for providing him the chance. Narine informed Jio Cinema:
“I haven’t opened in such a long time or did much with the bat in the years past. The job is just to go out there and try to give a good start, whatever the situation is, still keep going because if you try to face dot balls in the powerplay, it could hurt you in the backend.”

He added:
“With GG (Gambhir) coming back, he gave me the confidence and his assurance that I’ll open the batting.”
