Varun Chakravarthy's performance in the T20 World Cup might have been underwhelming, but according to former South African captain Faf du Plessis, the mystery spinner is set to play a crucial role for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) as the IPL 2023 kicks off on March 28.
Du Plessis emphasized the importance of a spin-friendly Eden Gardens pitch, tailor-made for both Chakravarthy and the seasoned Sunil Narine, who are considered two of the best T20 spinners. For KKR to succeed, he suggested, both spinners must play on conducive surfaces.
In addition to their spin lineup, KKR's strategy also includes high-priced player Cameron Green and experienced captain Ajinkya Rahane, whose batting order could be pivotal. Former player Lakshmipathy Balaji recommends Rahane's presence at the top order to enhance team dynamics.
