IPL 2018: 5 costliest players whose participation in the tournament remains unsure
Every season of the Indian Premier League has witnessed injuries to some of its star players.
Last year, Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli missed out on a fraction of the tournament due to injury. Similarly, Kolkata Knight Riders all-rounder Andre Russell was out of the tournament as he was serving a ban. This year, as many as five star players are feared to miss the league due to injuries and a possible ban. Let’s take a look.
#5 Sunil Narine – Kolkata Knight Riders – INR 12.50 crore
The West Indian spinner was retained by the two-time champions ahead of the auctions. Sunil Narine was reported for suspect bowling action in the Pakistan Super League where he plays for the Lahore Qalandars. This has a possibility of jeopardising the star player’s participation in the IPL for KKR.
He was one of KKR’s star performers last season and also in 2012. The match officials’ from the PSL will send a report to Cricket West Indies regarding Narine’s action and he will then have to go through the process that is followed by his country’s board for suspect bowling action.
