3/13 Varun Chakravarthy’s figures, his second-best bowling performance in the IPL behind the 5/20 vs Delhi Capitals in Abu Dhabi on Oct 24, 2020.
Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli must be frustrated at his team’s poor batting display on Monday night that saw them caving in for 92 in 19 overs batting first against Kolkata Knight Riders in Abu Dhabi on Monday.
However, on the other hand he must also be happy to see how Varun Chakravarthy bowled. A month before the T20 World Cup, the new mystery spinner of Indian cricket made his case for a place in the playing XI stronger by breaking the backbone of RCB and finishing with 3/13 from his four overs.
Kohli was candid in appreciating Chakravarthy. “That’s what I was saying in the dugout. He (Chakravarthy) is going to be a key factor when he plays for India,” he said after the match.
