In the 8th over of the innings, which was the second of Varun Chakravarthy, the mystery spinner changed the game for his team within the span of 6 balls. On the third ball of the over, the Kolkata Knight Riders spinner came up with the magical ball to remove Dhruv Jurel, who failed to make a mark.

Varun Chakravarthy floated up a delivery nicely outside off, and it was on a length. Dhruv Jurel was not sure which way the ball would turn as he failed to read the wrong 'un and paid the price. He came up with the tentative front foot movement as he tried to keep it out, but left a bat-pad gap.

Varun Chakravarthy, however, didn't stop as after that, he came up with another magical ball to remove Wanindu Hasaranga. On the 5th ball of the over, the mystery spinner bowled a tossed-up googly outside off, to which the batter tried to push it with minimal foot movement.

Wanindu Hasaranga attempted to play it towards the cover, but he got beaten on the inside edge as the ball went onto hit the off-stump. Varun Chakravarthy, in that over, used the surface to the full extent as it has been gripping and turning, and the KKR spinner weaved his magic.
