Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
During the Caribbean T20 in 2011, Narine played his first T20 match. Narine managed to take 5 wickets in the tournament at an average of 13.40. However, his bowling action came under the scanner in that series which prompted him to work with bio-mechanical experts at the University of Western Australia in Perth to change it. His improved bowling action was very effective in the Champions League 2011 as he bagged ten wickets at an average of 10.50 and an economy rate of 4.37. Later that year, he made his ODI debut against India in the third game of the series and picked up two crucial wickets to lead West Indies to a 16-run victory.
His consistent outstanding performances in limited overs cricket attracted the Kolkata Knight Riders franchise and he was bought for an impressive USD 700,000 in the 2012 IPL auction. He justified the inclusion and finished the season with a total of 24 wickets, being the second-highest wicket taker of the tournament. His contribution helped Kolkata secure their maiden IPL title and Narine was adjudged 'Player of the tournament' . The IPL was a huge learning experience for the youngster and it also fetched him his Test debut when he replaced an injured Kemar Roach for the third Test against England in June 2012. His performances in Test matches have been nothing spectacular so far.
Narine had another good IPL season in 2013 in which he picked up 22 wickets in 16 matches but due to Kolkata's poor performance in that edition, he could not move on further. Narine's a deceptive bowling technique, which has out-foxed many batsmen, remains his main strength. Although he has found a permanent spot in the ODI and T20 sides, Narine is still looking to make a mark in Test cricket.
His top-notch performances in the Indian T20 League, provoked the Kolkata franchise for the seventh season of the Indian T20 League.
Meanwhile, with the in-form Shane Shillingford reported for suspect action, Narine was belatedly added to the West Indies Test squad for their tour to New Zealand. He made an indelible mark, foxing the Kiwi batsmen with his bag of variations, which included the regular offie, the carrom ball, the dossra, the knuckle ball and the nifty straighter one. In the lone Test he played in that series, he scalped 6 wickets to command a longer run in the Test fold.
Though Narine managed just 6 victims in 5 encounters in the T20 Cup in Bangladesh, he made a significant impact with his parsimonious economy rate, which created wickets at the other end. With the emergence of Benn, Narine found himself out of the Test side, but was still the first option when it came to ODIs and T20Is. However, during the 2014 Champions League, Narine was reported for a suspect bowling action by the ICC and since then he has been working on it to get it right. The selectors though, believe that he would have corrected his action by then and selected him for the 2015 World Cup.
In IPL 2018, Sunil Narine had a standout season with the bat as he scored 357 runs at a scintillating strike rate of 189.89 where he also notched up a couple of super quick half centuries. Apart from his contribution with the bat, the mystery spinner also claimed 17 wickets and proved his mettle as an all-rounder. However, barring the 2018 season, Sunil Narine hasn't been able to contribute much with the bat as the bowlers have found his weakness against the short ball. He played a crucial role in KKR's victory in 2012 & 2014, but Narine hasn't been the lethal weapon he used to be once upon a time. The batters have managed to decode his mystery over the years, and he can't be considered a reliable batsman owing to his inconsistency.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Mystery spinner Sunil Narine is perhaps the first high-profile cricketer to make a career as a T20 specialist slow bowler, armed with a bag of variations - skidders, knuckleballs, carrom balls and more - for every occasion, and a party trick of thrashing quick runs up or down the order with the bat.
Narine got his call-up to the Trinidad and Tobago squad in 2009 after he took all ten wickets in a trial game. Two years later came his first big outing, when he was one of three bowlers to take ten or more wickets at the 2011 Champions League Twenty20 for T&T. In 2012, he helped take West Indies to the World T20 title, the first time they claimed a global trophy since 1979.
Narine has been a fixture for Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL since 2012 - one of a handful of players to have only played for one franchise in the competition. He was among the chief architects of the side's two title victories, in 2012 and 2014, taking over 20 wickets apiece in both seasons. In the first half of his career with them, Narine was untouchable: in 2016, with more than 650 overs bowled for KKR, he had 216 wickets at an economy rate of 5.52. Such highs were beyond him in Test cricket, though. The last of his six matches for West Indies came in December 2013 and his bowling average in the format remains a dismal 40-plus.
Perhaps no other spinners save for Saeed Ajmal and Muthiah Muralidaran have been dogged by trouble over the legitimacy of their bowling actions as much as Narine has. Before his ODI debut, in India in 2011, he needed to rework his action with the help of biomechanics experts at the University of Western Australia. In 2014 he missed out on playing the Champions League T20 final after being suspended for throwing. He withdrew himself from the ODI World Cup the following year, saying he needed to keep working on his action, but when he did return, he was suspended from bowling in international cricket after he was reported during a game against Sri Lanka in November 2015. He was cleared a few months later but missed the 2016 T20 World Cup. He was reported yet again during the PSL in 2018, cleared, then reported again in the 2020 IPL, and subsequently cleared once more.
In the second half of the 2010s, attention was cast on quite another aspect of Narine's game - his batting. Melbourne Renegades sent him in as opener that BBL season, and he delivered, then taking on the role in other leagues as well. In 2017, he produced 502 runs at a strike rate of over 150 across five T20 leagues and in T20Is.
