    "editor1": "<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">New Delhi, Oct 6 (IANS) Kolkata Knight Riders&#39; captain Gautam Gambhir hopes that teammate and West Indies off-spinner Sunil Narine will emerge a &quot;better bowler and a stronger individual&quot; from his ban due to chucking.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">Narine has been reported twice for a suspect bowling action during the Champions League T20 (CLT20) cricket tournament. He has been suspended from bowling in the CLT20 final and was also withdrawn from the West Indies squad for the One-Day International (ODI) series against India starting Oct 8.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">&quot;He (Narine) is, was and will always be an integral part of KKR and the entire squad will stand behind him. I hope he can come back as a stronger human being and can achieve much bigger heights than he has achieved in the past,&quot; Gambhir was quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo.com.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">Gambhir said he was &quot;shocked&quot; when he was first informed about Narine&#39;s action being reported after a group game against the Dolphins on Sep 29.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">&quot;The only thing I can say at the moment is it&#39;s a tough time for him, but he&#39;s a strong character. I had a long chat with him after the game and I told him he needed to get this monkey off his back because he himself doesn&#39;t know if there&#39;s anything wrong with his action,&quot; said Gambhir.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">&quot;The good thing is now he will get to know whether there is actually a problem in his action. If there is any, he will try to sort that out and come back a stronger human being and a stronger character as well. He could take all that pressure and be a much better bowler as well,&quot; Gambhir said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">&quot;Sometimes when these things start playing in your mind, what will happen if I bowl this delivery, what will people be talking, etc... Once he gets this off his back, I am certain he will be a much better bowler.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">Gambhir hoped that there is consistency in the process of hauling up bowlers with suspect bowling options.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">&quot;Hopefully they are not targeting certain bowlers and they should not be targeting certain bowlers,&quot; he said. &quot;Sometimes the biggest challenge in these things is to be consistent and that&#39;s where I think it can get unfair. Till the time you are fair, I am fine with it, whether it has to do with actions, batsmen, bowlers or xyz. For me consistency is very important in any sport,&quot; the left-hander said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">Gambhir said Narine was missed in Knight Riders&#39; eight-wicket loss in the CLT20 final against Chennai Super Kings (CSK).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">He also pointed out that another KKR spinner, Kuldeep Yadav, who has been inducted in the Indian team for the West Indies ODI series, has &quot;a very bright future,&quot; but still has &quot;a long way to go&quot;.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">&quot;He&#39;s young, not a lot of people have seen him. But the challenge is when people start identifying you and figuring you out. I hope he goes from what he has achieved till now and keeps working hard on his game,&quot; he said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
