Varun Chakraborty Kolkata Knight Riders
It’s fine. It’s just the impact pain (talking about his injury). Still not able to put the foot fully down. But in another 3 days, I’ll be fine. He hit it very fast, and I had to stop it. Otherwise it would’ve been a four. I’ve been saying this every year. Initially when IPL starts, the first four matches will be flat wickets. It’s very tough for spinners to come into the game. Happened for every spinner. Everyone found it tough.
As the tournament goes on, spinners come into the game. He was extending his hands very well (his plan for Head), I didn’t want him to do that. That’s the simple plan. The guys are coming together, the batting group is coming together. Nice to see the batting group finish it this way. I can see lots of positive energy in the team. We can make a serious dent in the IPL if we keep going.
