Sunil Narine, the key spinner for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), was absent from the squad in their recent match against Rajasthan Royals due to illness.

Narine's absence led to the inclusion of veteran all-rounder Moeen Ali, who stepped into the playing XI as KKR registered their first victory of the IPL 2025 season.

Moeen Ali made an impact with the ball, claiming two wickets for 23 runs from his four overs, playing a significant role in limiting RR to 151 runs. However, his batting stint was short-lived, as he scored just five runs off 12 balls.

An update from KKR indicate that Narine's health is improving, and the spinner is under medical observation. There is optimism that he will be available for KKR's next game against Mumbai Indians (MI) on March 31 at Wankhede Stadium. Narine's return would be a huge boost for KKR, given his consistent performances in past seasons.

KKR released an image of the West Indies veteran at the Wankhede Stadium with his training gears on. It is believed that Narine has recovered completely and will be available for the Mumbai Indians clash. Although KKR have a dismal record against the Paltans, the recent results are encouraging for them.

Having Narine in the lineup would provide an important spin option for KKR in the upcoming matches. The KKR legend played against RCB and showcased his worth with both bat and ball.
