Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal owns 32 scalps against PBKS in the IPL. Each of Narine's wickets against PBKS has come playing for KKR. The mystery spinner, who made his debut in 2012, got to this feat in his 26th encounter. Narine has an average of just over 20 against the Kings. His economy rate falls under eight.
