Varun Chakravarthy's journey from architect to IPL star, focusing on consistency and new variations for success.
Mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy, who has been a key player for the Indian team as well as the Kolkata Knight Riders side, believes that consistency is the key to success and he's working on adding new variations to his craft.
From battling fitness challenges to becoming a key figure in India's recent Champions Trophy triumph where he took nine wickets, the architect-turned-cricketer has had a remarkable journey.
Chakravarthy formed a deadly spin quartet with Kuldeep Yadav (seven wickets), Ravindra Jadeja (five), and Axar Patel (five) to form a web around the opposition during the Champions Trophy.
"The main thing is working on consistency, which is the toughest thing to master and I am putting in constant work in order to achieve that," the 33-year-old stated in a release.
"And of course, I am working on a few other deliveries which I'm hoping will come off nicely in the upcoming games." Reigning champions KKR will kick off their IPL campaign against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Eden Gardens here on Saturday.
One of the most anticipated match-ups of the season will be Chakravarthy's face-off with RCB's star batter Virat Kohli.
However, he downplayed any special rivalry with the Bengaluru-based franchise.
