Tamil Nadu off-spinner Varun Chakravarthy has a fascinating story. He had left cricket before he returned back to fill in the void. Chakravarthy was bought by KKR for a big sum and he is making it count through his performance. Courtesy of his five-wicket haul against Delhi Capitals, KKR clinched a dominating victory to stay afloat in top four.

KKR captain Eoin Morgan was might pleased with the way things turned out to be for his side. Sunil Narine also showed his brilliance with the bat as he notched up a half-century for the first time in IPL 2020 while batting at No.5. Morgan mentioned that the decision was taken by head coach Brendon McCullum to bat him at that position.

“We had had a nice couple of days to reflect on things. In such a compact tournament, it can be easy to get caught up. Great of Sunil to come back and play as a proper all-rounder. And Nitish Rana and him adding all the runs.

“The decision to bat Narine there is all the coach. He likes to play his cards,” Eoin Morgan said in the post-match interview

“It is all Brendon. Given the nature of the tournament, it is not a tournament where sides get 100 in top 10. You need a longer batting line-up than a strong one. That is why I am batting lower”

“Varun is such a humble guy. He just goes about his work. Throughout the tournament, he has been our standout performer,” he added.

The race for the IPL 2020 playoffs fourth place is getting stiffer. KKR are at the fourth spot with 10 points from as many matches with SunRisers Hyderabad and Kings XI Punjab following them and set to challenge their position.
