KKR's Varun Chakravarthy working on few other deliveries for IPL 2025

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."

IPL 2025 preview: Spotlight on new rules, new captains, saliva ban reversal

New rules and new captains will be in focus but the razzmatazz will be pretty much the same when the 18th Indian Premier League kicks off here on Saturday with defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders taking on perennial underachievers Royal Challengers Bengaluru amid a looming threat of rain. There is plenty to look forward in the league. Among the most prominent rule changes is the lifting of saliva ban. For the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic, bowlers will be allowed to use it to shine the ball. The BCCI lifted the ban after receiving a majority consensus from IPL captains in a landmark decision taken at the captains' meeting in Mumbai. The International Cricket Council had made the saliva ban permanent in 2022, but the IPL operates under its own regulations and the latest move could set a precedent for the global game. The 18th season will also witness tactical innovations, including a major change to counter dew's impact. The second innings of evening matches will see

IPL 2025: Dwayne Bravo promises to instill 'champion mentality' in KKR

Dwayne Bravo, one of T20 cricket's most decorated players, on Wednesday promised to instill his "champion mentality" in Kolkata Knight Riders as their new mentor for the upcoming Indian Premier League season. Replacing Gautam Gambhir, who guided the franchise to their third title last year, Bravo is determined to build on KKR's recent success and ensure they remain a force to be reckoned with. One of the format's most accomplished all-rounders, Bravo is no stranger to success. With 631 wickets and record 17 T20 franchise titles to his name, he understands what it takes to win. "I'd like to bring in the champion mentality. I believe in winning," said the former West Indies T20 World Cup winner during the 'Knights Unplugged 2.0' event. "My records speak for themselves, but at the end of the day, it's about the next generation of cricketers and helping them become champions in their own way." "KKR is a team hugely respected worldwide. When I was playing, a couple of guys used to be

IPL: We've proven that we bowl well in tandem - Narine on partnering Varun

Fresh from his exploits in India's triumphant Champions Trophy campaign, Varun Chakravarthy will be a key component of Kolkata Knight Riders' spin attack with his element of "uncertainty" in the upcoming IPL, veteran Sunil Narine said on Wednesday. The West Indian spin-bowling all-rounder, heading into his 14th IPL season with KKR, believes Chakravarthy's ability to keep batsmen guessing would be key to their bowling unit's success. "Over the years, we have proven it. We bowl well in tandem. It's always good to have him on my side. He keeps that pressure, that uncertainty -- something you're never sure about," Narine said in a select media interaction while launching 'PariMatch' here. Chakravarthy, who picked up nine wickets in three matches in the Champions Trophy, has been a mainstay in KKR's lineup since 2020. After an impressive first season with 17 wickets, he earned his maiden India call-up, though fitness issues delayed his international debut until 2021. Retained by KKR in

IPL 2025: KKR all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer dismisses price tag pressure

Kolkata Knight Riders star all-rounder and newly appointed vice-captain Venkatesh Iyer on Thursday said he cannot ignore the scrutiny surrounding his Rs 23.75-crore price tag but is determined to fulfil his responsibilities rather than letting the weight of expectations affect him. The left-handed batter, who also bowls occasional medium pace, earned a staggering Rs 23.75 crore deal -- more than 11 times his base price -- as KKR went all-out and used their RTM card following a fierce bidding war with Royal Challengers Bengaluru to bring him back. "Obviously, you can't ignore it altogether. It exists. Wherever I go, I get asked about it," Iyer said at their pre-season media interaction at Eden Gardens. "So, it is existent, right? But for me, it's about absorbing it and still trying to fulfill the responsibility that has been given to me." However, Iyer believes that once the IPL begins, the numbers won't matter anymore. "But when the IPL will start, it really doesn't matter. You ar
