IPL 2020 Sunil Narine bowling action gets green signal, can play against Hyderabad today
New Delhi The Kolkata Knight Riders, the franchise team of the Indian Premier League, are a relief news.
Spinner Sunil Naren has been given the green signal after objecting to bowling action a few matches ago. The IPL bowling action committee has found his bowling to be correct and has decided to remove his name from the list of bowlers with questionable action.
Kolkata Knight Riders player Sunil Narine has been approved by the Suspense Bowling Action Committee of IPL. Mr Narine was reported to have bowled with a suspected illegal bowling action during his team's Dream 11 Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 match against Kings XI Punjab in Abu Dhabi on 10 October. Following the report, Mr. Narayan was placed on the IPL list list.
KKR requested for an Official Assessment of Mr Narine action from the IPL Suspect Bowling Action Committee, submitting action footage in slow motion with back and side angles. The Committee carefully reviewed all the deliveries of action footage sent of Mr Narine with the naked eye and has come to the conclusion that the elbow-bend appears to be within the range of permissible limits. The Committee also noted that Mr. Narine should reproduce the same action going forward in the IPL 2020 matches as presented to the Committee in the video footage.
A complaint was made by the field umpire against the bowling action of Kolkata spinner Naren after the match played against Kings XI Punjab on 10 October in Abu Dhabi. After this complaint, his name was put on the IPL warning list. This meant that once action was questioned they could be banned from the tournament. Naren was not part of the matches played since the umpire's complaint.
Kolkata had requested the IPL Suspect Bowling Action Committee for an official evaluation regarding Naren bowling action. Slow motion footage of Narens bowling action was submitted by the team. It featured a video of his bowling from the back and side angles.
Naren's bowling action was studied by the committee very closely and found that the more his elbow rotates, it falls within the scope of the rule. This committee has also made it clear that Naren can bowl with the same old action from which he was bowling in this IPL.
Naren won in the last overThe team won the last over in the match before complaining of bowling action against Kings XI Punjab. In the last over, Punjab needed 14 runs to win, with Naren giving away 11 runs to give Kolkata an exciting win by 2 runs.
