Let us tell you that after the end of the match between Kolkata Knight Riders vs Mumbai Indians, Varun was quoted as saying by India Today – After taking this wicket, the celebration was coming out, because I had not taken the wicket of Rohit Bhai before. The wicket was really helping and I was able to take advantage of it. The plan was to bowl him (Rohit) across the line. I had made this plan and it proved successful.
Varun further said- Narayan and I talk to each other about bowling. We are both tactically different, but technically the same. Narayan bowls with the front of the hand and I bowl with the back of the hand. We keep talking about where we can improve. Eden Gardens ground is quite small. I am bowling the same as before and now I am getting results.
On the other hand, if we give you information about Varun’s performance in the match, he took 2 wickets for 17 runs in 4 overs. Also, after winning the match, KKR has secured a place in the race for the playoffs of the ongoing season.
