Rahane Backs Varun Chakravarthy: "All He Needs A Break" After T20 World Cup Struggles
•KKR Captain Ajinkya Rahane expresses full faith in Varun Chakravarthy ahead of IPL 2026, despite his mixed T20 World Cup performance.
•Chakravarthy finished as India's joint-highest wicket-taker but struggled in the Super 8s, conceding heavily and losing his top ICC T20I bowler ranking.
•Rahane emphasized that Varun's intent was sound and that a short break after the World Cup was ideal for him to reset.
•He highlighted that Varun often bowls tough overs in Powerplay and middle phases, trying to pick wickets when batters are set.
•Varun remains a key KKR bowler, third on their all-time IPL wicket charts, with Rahane stating the team is not worried about his form.
