Before shining for the Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2020, Varun Chakravarthy was part of Kings XI Punjab, who secured him for a mind-boggling amount of INR 8.4 crores. Varun Chakravarthy’s base price was INR 20 lakhs as Chennai Super Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders, and Kings XI Punjab were involved in a three-way race. Ultimately, the Punjab-based franchise bagged their deal.

However, the mystery leg-spinner did not have the desired outing or lacked enough opportunities. The 29-year old played only one match and took as many scalps. But things around the following year when Kolkata Knight Riders procured the leg-spinner and Varun responded by taking 17 wickets in 13 games alongside a five-wicket haul.
