KKR suffered from poor form in the first half of the season. However, they got off to a playing start in the UAE, with a thumping victory over Royal Challengers Bangalore. Chakravarthy was among KKR’s leading performers in the match, returning with figures of 3/13 from his four overs as RCB were bundled out for just 92.
Chakravarthy will look to keep up his rich vein of form for the rest of the season, with the T20 World Cup looming. He was picked in India’s squad and is expected to play a key role for Team India.
