IPL 2020: 3 Disappointing buys of KKR in the auction
It’s hard to comprehend the buys from the Men in Gold and Purple.
Varun Chakravarthy
Varun Chakravarthy got into the limelight after his impressive stint in the 2018 edition of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL). Thereafter, KXIP gave him chances in a solitary game versus KKR where Narine laid into him in the powerplay.
The match at the Eden Gardens remains to be his only T20 thus far in his career. After the IPL, the 28-year-old leg-spinner hasn’t played any form of cricket. This time around, Varun came in the auction at a base price of INR 30 lakhs. KKR and the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) went hammer and tongs to buy him.
In the end, the Knights splurged a stunning INR 4 crore for the Karnataka-born tweaker. Shelling out amount in crores for a player, who hasn’t played a whole lot of cricket, may not pay a whole lot of dividends for the Knight Riders.
