But what made the feat even more special was that he became the first player ever to reach 200 wickets for a single franchise, underlining his loyalty and consistency since debuting in 2012.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>Soon after the landmark, Shah Rukh took to X and shared a picture with Narine, writing: \u201cSunil, my friend\u2026 here\u2019s to 15 seasons\u2026 over 200 wickets\u2026 3 titles and many more with the @KKRiders franchise around the globe!!! You are a magician and we love you like our own family. Big hug for today and always\u2026 Be healthy and keep smiling!\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>The emotional message quickly went viral, with fans celebrating not just Narine\u2019s achievement but also the deep bond he shares with the franchise.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">Narine\u2019s milestone underlines unmatched consistency<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>The West Indian all-rounder finished with figures of 2\/31 in the match, including the crucial wicket of Ishan Kishan, as KKR bowled out SRH for 165 in 19 overs. In doing so, Narine also became the first overseas bowler to enter the 200-wicket club.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>Adding another feather to his cap, Narine now holds the best economy rate among bowlers who have delivered at least 1800 balls in IPL history, boasting an impressive 6.79. He edges past greats like Dale Steyn (6.91), Harbhajan Singh (7.07), Lasith Malinga (7.14) and Rashid Khan (7.15).<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>From being the MVP in 2012 and 2018 to playing key roles in KKR\u2019s title wins in 2012, 2014 and 2024, Narine\u2019s journey has been defined by impact and longevity.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/ipl\/ipl-2026\/ipl-2026-you-are-a-magician-shah-rukh-khans-emotional-tribute-to-sunil-narine-after-historic-milestone\/articleshow\/130748912.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shah Rukh Khan with KKR star Sunil Narine.
