Hours before KKR's fixture vs DC, he caught the attention of fans due to a foolish reason, as he shared an Instagram post on his story. He shared a post from an unverified page and it also attributed quotes to him, which he never said. According to the post, the comment was passed by Narine after KKR's win vs RCB and he allegedly said, "I like scoring runs against RCB because they have a weak bowling department."

The post was written in Hindi, Narine probably doesn't have a good command over the language and didn't understand what it meant. Here is the post:

Chasing 273, DC were bowled out for 166 in 17.2 overs despite half-centuries from Rishabh Pant (55) and Tristan Stubbs (54). Narine contributed with his bowling too, taking a wicket. Meanwhile, Vaibhav Arora and Varun Chakaravarthy bagged three dismissals each respectively.

Against RCB too, Narine displayed similar batting form. Chasing 183 runs, KKR sent Narine to open the batting with Phil Salt. Narine slammed 47 off 22 balls only, clattering two fours and five sixes during his knock. It proved to be key for KKR, who reached 186/3 in 16.6 overs, winning by seven wickets.
