In the history of the IPL, only one cricketer has achieved the rare feat of batting in every position from 1 to 11. That player is none other than Sunil Narine, a true utility man in the T20 format. Known originally for his mystery spin, Narine’s batting evolution has been just as intriguing. Whether smashing quick runs as an opener or holding the innings together at the tail end, he has filled every role asked of him.

His adaptability has been a major asset for Kolkata Knight Riders, who have used him strategically to disrupt bowling plans. Narine’s journey across the entire batting lineup reflects not just his own versatility, but also the unpredictable and innovative nature of T20 cricket. While most players find comfort in one or two roles, Narine’s all-position record stands out as a testament to his willingness to take on any challenge for the team.
