Trinidadian mystery spinner Sunil Narine completed 200 wickets for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), becoming the first player from the team to do so.

Narine reached this milestone during his side's Indian Premier League (IPL) match against Sunrisers Hyderabad at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Thursday.

Now in 189 matches for KKR since debut in 2012, Narine has taken 200 wickets at an average of 24.14, with best figures of 5-19, his solitary five-wicket haul. He also has eight four-wicket hauls.

Narine is the fourth-highest wicket-taker in IPL history, with 182 wickets at an average of 25.60 in 180 matches, with best figures of 5/19. His rest of the wickets for KKR have come in the now-defunct Champions League T20 competition, where he took 18 scalps in nine matches.

Narine has the second-highest number of wickets by a bowler for a single team in T20s, next to Samit Patel's 208 wickets for Nottinghamshire.
