Varun Chakravarthy Injured: He had hit very fast…. Injured Varun Chakravarthy took the name of Ishan Kishan, how serious is the injury, will he be able to play the next match?

New Delhi. A worrying news came on Sunday for the Kolkata Knight Riders team, which returned to the winning track after playing 6 matches in the Indian Premier League 2026. The team’s star spinner Varun Chakraborty suffered a leg injury while bowling against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Because of this, concerns increased about his playing in the rest of the season. After the match, Varun assured that he would recover in a few days. By defeating Hyderabad, Kolkata team registered its third consecutive win in the tournament.

In the match played against Hyderabad, Varun was injured on the first ball of the 12th over of the first innings. Ishan Kishan hit the full ball straight towards the bowler, and Chakraborty moved his foot forward to stop the boundary. He felt a lot of pain but despite this he completed his quota of 4 overs. He took 3 wickets for 36 runs.

Chakraborty walked slowly towards broadcaster Anjum Chopra and received the Player of the Match award. He said, “Okay, there is pain just because of the collision. Still not able to put my leg down completely. But I will be fine in three days. (Kishan) had hit me very hard, I had to stop him.”

Varun’s first wicket was the most important when he trapped Travis Head with a short and fast ball. The left-handed batsman did not have time to get the ball down and he only edged it and was caught by Cameron Green. Talking about it, he said, “He was moving his hands well, I didn’t want him to do that. That was the simple plan,”

He seemed happy with the team’s third consecutive win. “The boys are coming together, the batting group is also coming together,” he said. “It was good to see the batting group finishing like this. There is a lot of positive energy in the team. If we keep playing like this, we can make a big impact in the IPL.”
