IPL 2022: KKR spinner Varun Chakravarthy looks to up his game with new variation

Kolkata Knight Riders’ mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy is not worried about a rather quiet start to this IPL season and is banking on a new variation to become an improved bowler. The 30-year-old spinner was the highest wicket taker for KKR last season with 18 wickets from 17 matches and this season, he has got just four wickets from five games. “It is bound to happen, people will have plans against me. Last year in the Indian leg, I had six to seven wickets in seven matches. Later on, I picked up more wickets, so you cannot predict how many wickets you are going to get,” Chakravarthy said.

If it starts clicking well it will definitely add a new dimension to my game,” he said ahead of KKR’s match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Friday. Asked further about the new variation, he said, “I am working on a leg-spin. I have been working for it in the last two years. I have bowled in few matches and I have got a wicket out of that also. “I need to be a little more confident (bowling the new variation) and start bowling it more.” An injury-prone Chakravarthy returned to competitive cricket in the IPL after featuring in the T20 World Cup last year when he failed to pick a wicket before being sidelined due to a calf injury.
