Kolkata Knight Riders ke star spinner Varun Chakravarthy ne apne IPL 2025 ke ‘hitlist’ players ka naam sabke saamne rakh diya hai. Varun ka kehna hai ki unka mission simple hai — har us batsman ko out karna jo zabardast form mein hai.
“Players like Heinrich Klaasen, Nicholas Pooran, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, aur Suryakumar Yadav — ye sab top-class players hain. Inki wicket lena mere liye badi baat hogi,” Varun ne JioStar ke interview mein bataya.
Unhone sirf opposition ke big names tak baat nahi roki, balki apne mindset aur gameplan par bhi insight diya. Pressure situations mein kaise cool bane rehte hain, is par bhi kuch valuable baatein share ki.
“Mera mantra simple hai — basics par tikey raho. Koi magic ball ya flashy moment banane ka pressure nahi lena chahiye. Jo kaam aata hai, usi ko consistently achhe se karo,” unhone confidently bola.
Chakravarthy ne ye bhi yaad dilaya ki pichle saal ka performance kabhi guarantee nahi hota. Har season ek fresh start hota hai, aur isi attitude ke saath wo is saal ke IPL mein utare hain.
“2024 mein humne trophy jeeti, but 2025 mein sab shuru se start karna padega. Cricket har baar naya test deta hai,” Varun ne KKR ke champion mindset ko reflect karte hue kaha.
Agla match Monday ko Mumbai Indians ke against hai, aur KKR apne 2024 ke Wankhede win se boost lekar aayegi — jo unka 12 saal mein pehla jeet tha is iconic stadium par.
