The left-arm spinner also became the first overseas player to reach that milestone, a feat that highlights both his staying power and his match-winning impact over the years. <\/p>\n<h3>Quick facts<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>200-wicket milestone: Sunil Narine (first overseas player to reach it in IPL)<\/li>\n<li>Most wickets in IPL (economy rate): 228 \u2013 Yuzvendra Chahal (8.02), 215 \u2013 Bhuvneshwar Kumar (7.68), 201 \u2013 Sunil Narine (6.79), 192 \u2013 Piyush Chawla (7.96), 187 \u2013 Ravichandran Ashwin (7.20), 186 \u2013 Jasprit Bumrah (7.32), 183 \u2013 Dwayne Bravo (8.38)<\/li>\n<li>Milestone match: Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad<\/li>\n<li>Narine\u2019s key moment: two wickets in a crucial spell to derail SRH, finishing the match with 200 IPL wickets<\/li>\n<li>Spin duo impact: Varun Chakravarthy\u2019s 3\/36 and Narine\u2019s decisive burst; together they took 5\/67<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The landmark arrived in Kolkata Knight Riders\u2019 encounter with Sunrisers Hyderabad, where Narine struck twice during a pivotal phase to swing momentum back in KKR\u2019s favour. It was a pressure spell that turned the contest after SRH had looked set to control proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>Before the KKR spin challenge took over, Travis Head had set a blistering tone for the visitors. He raced to 61 off just 28 deliveries, quickly putting SRH on the front foot. Support also came from Ishan Kishan, who contributed 42 off 29 balls as the hosts surged to 105\/1 by the ninth over following a strong powerplay.<\/p>\n<p>Yet once KKR\u2019s spinners found their rhythm, the game changed shape rapidly. Varun Chakravarthy, despite conceding runs early, disrupted the flow by removing Head, and that dismissal triggered a collapse. <\/p>\n<p>A sharp catch by Rovman Powell then ended Heinrich Klaasen\u2019s stay in the middle for a low score, and wickets began to fall in quick succession. With the batting order under pressure, Narine delivered the decisive blow\u2014claiming two wickets in a single over to complete his 200th IPL scalp.<\/p>\n<p>By the end of their spellwork, the duo had done the damage together: Chakravarthy finished with 3\/36, while Narine\u2019s haul helped ensure their combined tally of 5\/67. From a position that looked comfortable for SRH, the innings unravelled completely.<\/p>\n<p>Sunrisers Hyderabad were eventually bowled out for 165 in 19 overs, handing KKR a clinical turnaround. It was a comeback that felt increasingly inevitable as the wickets kept tumbling\u2014Kolkata will be the happier side after a dominant bowling performance that capped Narine\u2019s historic milestone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunil Narine has moved further into IPL legend after becoming only the third bowler to cross the 200-wicket mark in the competition.
