Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are facing a tough season in the Indian Premier League (IPL) with the team struggling in all departments. The batting has been inconsistent, the bowling below par, and Varun Chakravarthy’s form has taken a worrying dip. Once considered KKR’s trump card, the spinner has looked out of rhythm and lacking control in the two games he has played. He was subsequently sidelined with an injury, leaving the team with uncertainties about his return.
Former India captain Sourav Ganguly pointed out that batters have started to figure out Varun’s deliveries, posing a concern for KKR. Signs of his decline have been visible since the T20 World Cup, with Varun conceding runs without picking up wickets in the IPL. Despite putting in extra work in the nets, he has struggled to find his form.
KKR’s campaign hinges on Varun rediscovering his touch, as the team looks to turn their season around. With momentum slipping away, the Knight Riders are searching for solutions in a bid to salvage their IPL campaign. Published on Apr 07, 2026.
