Narine explained that the advice from his father plays a significant role in how he conducts himself after taking a wicket or reaching a milestone.
His father’s words were clear: never take the game for granted and always enjoy the moment.However, he emphasised the importance of not going overboard with celebrations. This philosophy has been a guiding principle for Narine throughout his career. He believes in showing respect to the game and his opponents by not displaying excessive jubilation.
“Growing up, a lesson that I got from my Dad was that if you get someone out today. You still have to play them tomorrow and next time. So I think it’s just enjoy the moment as much as you can but not overdo it,” Narine said on the Knights dugout podcast.
Narine’s approach to celebration is also a reflection of his personality. He is someone who prefers to let his performance on the field do the talking. His calm demeanour after a successful play is not a lack of passion but a conscious choice to maintain composure and focus on the game.
Narine’s approach stands out in a world where exuberant celebrations often follow every achievement. It serves as a reminder that one can experience joy and satisfaction without the need for extravagant displays. His behavior on the field is a lesson in humility and professionalism, making him not only a role model for young cricketers but also a respected player among his peers.
Narine’s resurgence at the top of the batting order has been nothing short of spectacular this season. The West Indies all-rounder has set the IPL 2024 ablaze with his sensational batting prowess. He has amassed a staggering 461 runs in just 11 matches, with a blistering strike rate of 183.
His crowning glory came in the form of his maiden IPL century, a monumental achievement that underscored his value to his team. Narine now finds himself firmly entrenched in the upper echelons of the league’s leading run-scorers, occupying the prestigious fifth position.
Not content with just excelling with the bat, Narine has also left a significant mark on the bowling front. Narine has recorded an impressive tally of 14 wickets in 11 matches, further solidifying his status as a versatile and invaluable asset to the team.
