IPL 2019: 4 Indian debutants who could make a mark

#2 - Varun Chakravarthy - Kings XI Punjab

Originally a wicket-keeper, a knee injury forced Varun to become a spinner.

How to become an overnight millionaire? Ask Varun Chakravarthy, who was handed a staggering contract of Rs 8.4 crore by KXIP, 42 times his base price. The mystery spinner from Tamil Nadu caught attention in the Tamil Nadu Premier League bagging multiple wickets with a jaw-dropping economy rate below 5 runs an over

Since then, he has gone from strength to strength. He also bowled in the nets to KKR batsmen in the last edition of the IPL. Varun was the leading wicket-taker for Tamil Nadu in the 2018–19 Vijay Hazare Trophy, with twenty-two dismissals in nine matches.

He has seven variations: Off break, Legbreak, Googly, Flipper, Topspinner, Carrom ball and the Slider. He is expected to partner Mujeeb Ur Rahman in the side and the duo already looks deadly - at least on paper.
