IPL 2023: KKR vs GT: Anil Kumble Lauds KKR’s Mystery Spinner Varun Chakravarthy’s Resurgence in the Ongoing IPL Edition

After struggling with form in the previous season, Varun Chakravarthy has made a comeback, taking 13 wickets in eight matches so far. Kumble has credited the return of the home-and-away format in IPL for the Tamil Nadu-based bowler's success, stating that the constant change of venue has helped him adapt to different conditions.

Legendary spinner Anil Kumble has praised Kolkata Knight Riders’ spinner Varun Chakravarthy, who seems to have found his form back in the ongoing season of IPL 2023. Varun, who took 18 wickets in 2021 and was crucial in KKR’s run to the final, had a lackluster performance in the previous season.

He remarked that Varun is a very unique bowler, with his action and speed being critical to his effectiveness. Kumble was glad to see that Varun had worked on his issues and improved his performance this year.

Anil Kumble also stated that the IPL returning to its home-and-away format had been a boon for Varun. After three seasons of IPL being played in the UAE and limited locations in India due to the pandemic, this year, the tournament has finally returned to its regular format of playing matches in the teams’ home grounds. Kumble believes that this adjustment has helped Varun adapt to the format, which is reflected in his recent performances.
