Focused on consistency, Varun Chakravarthy working on few other deliveries for IPL 2025

Live Mint  

Kolkata, Mar 21 Mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy, who has been a key player for the Indian team as well as the Kolkata Knight Riders side, believes that consistency is the key to success and he's working on adding new variations to his craft. From battling fitness challenges to becoming a key figure in India's recent Champions Trophy triumph where he took nine wickets, the architect-turned-cricketer has had a remarkable journey. His breakthrough came in the Tamil Nadu Premier League, where his performances caught the eye of then Kings XI Punjab captain R Ashwin and the franchise secured him for a staggering INR 8.4 crore in the 2019 IPL auction. In IPL 2024, Chakravarthy was the second-highest wicket-taker with 21 scalps, playing a crucial role in KKR's title-winning campaign.
