Sunil Narine, the Trinidadian cricketer playing for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), has made history by becoming the first overseas player to claim 200 wickets in the Indian Premier League (IPL). This achievement occurred during KKR's match against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on May 3, 2026. Narine's landmark wicket was that of wicket-keeper batter Salil Arora, who he bowled out in the 16th over. He then secured his 200th wicket by catching Ishan Kishan, finishing the match with figures of 2/31 from four overs. Narine is only the third bowler in IPL history to reach this milestone, following Indian bowlers Yuzvendra Chahal and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Notably, Narine has played for KKR since his IPL debut in 2012, making him the first bowler to achieve 200 wickets with a single franchise. He also holds the unique record of scoring 500 runs and taking 15 wickets in a single IPL season during KKR's title-winning run in 2024.
