4:22 AM IST Most Valuable Player of the Season - Undoubtedly, it goes to Sunil Narine for his outstanding effort. 18 wickets with an economy of 4.74. Narine is also the PLAYER OF THE FINAL for his 3/13. He says it is difficult to put his emotions into words as he is still trying to embrace the moment after LA Knight Riders' title triumph. Reflecting on the journey, Narine says the emotions stem from the struggles of the franchise over the first three seasons, when a squad of such quality failed to make its mark. He credits the coaches, players and support staff for coming together with a clear plan this season, adding that the players executed those plans brilliantly throughout the tournament. On continuing to improve year after year, Narine says it all comes down to hard work. He believes the number of matches a player has already played does not matter, as everyone still has to put in the hours. He adds that the team set its sights on this moment from the very first game of the season, with everyone buying into the vision, making it a complete team effort rather than an individual achievement. Speaking about bowling in the PowerPlay, Narine credits head coach Dwayne Bravo for the idea. He says Bravo comes up with bold plans because of the way he reads the game, and the players simply have to trust him and execute. Narine adds that the strategy worked throughout the tournament and hopes it continues to bring success in the future. On receiving the award, Narine says it means a great deal not only to him but also to the team, the support staff and his family. He hopes to continue performing at this level and, most importantly, stay in good health.
