IPL 2019: KXIP's Varun Chakravarthy ruled out of IPL - myKhel

Varun Chakravarthy had a brief association with Punjab Kings early in his IPL journey, but injuries, bowling blunders and limited opportunities meant he couldn’t make a significant impact. 

The franchise released him before he could establish himself, and he later emerged as a mystery-spin sensation with the Kolkata Knight Riders. His ability to outfox batters and pick wickets consistently turned him into one of the most effective spinners in the tournament, making his release a major missed opportunity for PBKS.
