#1 VARUN CHAKRAVATHI V
Plenty of eyebrows were raised when the Madurai-based franchise picked Varun as their first player during the draft. With so many experienced players available during the first round of the draft, Madurai decided to go for the unknown rookie.
Nevertheless, Varun changed the entire complexion of the franchise along with KB. If KB waved the magic with his bat, then Varun bamboozled the batsmen with the ball. The leggie bamboozled the batsmen with his googlies.
He bowled 40 overs in the entire competition with a mind-blowing economy rate of 4.7. His dot-ball percentage was 52.08. The numbers are jaw dropping as he predominantly bowls one-over upfront, one in the middle, and two in the slog overs.
His tremendous ability to curb the run flow during the slog overs will definitely fetch him an IPL contract next year.
