Playing with 'two fractures' in hand, Varun Chakravarthy wins 'Player of the match' as KKR beat RR in IPL 2026
Chakravarthy was awarded Player of the Match for his performance against RR.
NEW DELHI: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) spinner Varun Chakravarthy on Sunday revealed that he still has "two fractures" in his left hand. Varun Chakravarthy, who played a crucial role in KKR's first win of the IPL 2026 season on Sunday against LSG, said, "I think we all deserved this win, even though it's just one win, it feels very sweet. In the first few matches (of the season) I was injured, I had two fractures.
I still have two fractures in my left hand. So I'm just trying to manage that. " Chakravarthy had earlier missed two games for KKR due to a finger injury.
"I would say it (pitch) was a little slow, but it was perfectly suitable for us and we made the most of it. And I think we could have batted a little better in the middle, but all well. Yeah, we don't know where we'll end up, but we are just making a statement that we are not pushovers.
We are just not coming here to participate. We are here to win every match. We are here to make a strong contention for the trophy.
