New Delhi [India], May 25 (ANI): Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) veteran spinner Sunil Narine has etched his name into the history books by becoming the highest wicket-taker for a single team in men's T20 cricket. The West Indian all-rounder achieved the milestone during KKR's clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Sunday in Delhi, where he picked up two crucial wickets.
With this performance, Narine now has 210 wickets from 198 matches for Kolkata Knight Riders, surpassing England's Samit Patel, who had previously held the record with 208 wickets for Nottinghamshire.
