Varun Chakravarthy Hits 200 T20 Wickets with Stellar Bowling Against RR
Can this be the turning point for KKR in IPL 2026?
Varun Chakravarthy is back, baby! After a rough start to the IPL season, the KKR spinner has shown he’s still got it, bagging 200 wickets in T20s with a spectacular performance against the Rajasthan Royals. At Eden Gardens, Chakravarthy dismantled RR’s batting line-up, finishing with jaw-dropping figures of 3/14 in just 4 overs. Talk about a statement!
Chakravarthy’s journey hasn’t been smooth since the T20 World Cup knockouts. Despite being the highest wicket-taker in the tournament, he struggled early in the IPL, facing criticism and a pesky injury. But he bounced back with two crucial wickets against the Gujarat Titans, which set the stage for this explosive outing. And boy, did he deliver!
As the second-fastest Indian to 200 T20 wickets, only behind Arshdeep Singh, Chakravarthy is proving he’s not just a one-season wonder. With support from Sunil Narine and young gun Kartik Tyagi, KKR managed to restrict RR to a mere 155 runs, raising hopes for their first victory of the season. Could this be the spark that ignites KKR’s campaign?
