RCB's lack of left-handed batters hands KKR major edge in must-win clash
KKR team with Virat Kohli and Liam Livingstone New Delhi: IPL 2025 is all set to resume with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) facing Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in a must-win match. While KKR are in a tougher situation than RCB in the playoffs race, they have a significant ace up their sleeve in the form of spinner Varun Chakaravarthy who's wreaked havoc this season. Chakaravarthy has picked 17 wickets in 12 matches this season, maintaining an economy rate of just seven. While the 33-year-old spinner has made his presence felt across different situations, his dominance against right-hand batters especially stands out. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Chakaravarthy has dismissed the most number of right-hand batters in IPL 2025, accounting for 15 such dismissals at a strike rate of 13.27. The spinner's dominance especially stood out in KKR's recent match against RR where he dismissed Dhruv Jurel and Wanindu Hasaranga during the same over, outwitting them with a googly which zipped off the pitch and hit the stumps. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Interestingly, RCB are majorly a team comprising right-handed batters with Krunal Pandya, Jacob Bethell and Manoj Bhandage the only lefties.

He is gaining more and more control as well as growing in confidence. Varun is focusing on striking with as many dismissals as possible rather than simply looking to bowl dot balls," said former Indian spinner Venkatapathy Raju during an exclusive interaction with "RCB have enough experience to decide with their team buildup should be. They came with their own ideas about the squad balance with regard to the batting department. Facing KKR will test RCB, especially considering this break in the IPL, which can sometimes break the rhythm. It's going to be a nice face-off between Varun and RCB," he added.

IPL 2025: KKR's Varun Chakaravarthy penalised for send-off to CSK's Brevis
Emotions ran high under the Eden Gardens lights on Wednesday, as Kolkata Knight Riders' spinner Varun Chakaravarthy let his passion boil over during a tense IPL 2025 clash against Chennai Super Kings (CSK). After dismissing the Dewald Brevis, who had launched a blistering counterattack, Chakaravarthy delivered a sharp, pointed send-off that instantly drew the match officials' attention. What followed was swift and decisive. IPL Code breach confirmed, penalty handed out The IPL confirmed on Thursday that Chakaravarthy has been fined 25 per cent of his match fees and handed one demerit point for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct. The spinner admitted to a Level 1 offence under Article 2.5 — which deals with provocative gestures or language used upon dismissing a batter — and accepted the match referee's sanction. Also Read Brevis blitz, Varun's fight, and a collapse Brevis, who smashed a thrilling 52 off just 25 balls, had turned the tide in CSK's favour during their chase of 179. His dismissal momentarily gave KKR a glimmer of hope, especially with Chakaravarthy producing a standout spell of 2 for 18 from four overs. But even Varun's brilliance couldn't rescue KKR on a night that saw their playoff hopes take a crushing blow. Despite reducing CSK to a tricky position, Kolkata failed to close out the game, sliding to sixth on the points table with just 11 points from 12 matches. KKR's playoffs qualification scenarios in IPL 2025 With just two games remaining — both on the road — the Knight Riders find themselves on the brink. They will face Sunrisers Hyderabad on May 10, followed by a tough contest against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on May 17. Every match is now a knockout, every over a test of character. KKR not only need to win both games but also depend on other results to sneak into the playoffs. The margin for error? Absolutely none. Varun Chakaravarthy's send-off may have been born out of competitive fire, but it has come at a cost — personally and for the team. In a league that thrives on intensity, the line between aggression and offence is razor-thin, and Chakaravarthy's action has now added another layer to KKR's troubled campaign.
