#5 Varun Chakravarthy (Kings XI Punjab)

Varun Chakravarthy is a mystery spinner from Tamil Nadu who captured everyone’s attention when he was bagged for INR 8.4 crore during the IPL Auctions. Fans were left wondering more about the young bowler.

Varun is known for his seven variations with the ball and he rose to prominence in the Tamil Nadu Premier League where he played for the Siechem Madurai Panthers. He scalped a total of 9 wickets in 10 games at a very good economy rate of 4.70.

He was deceiving batsmen left, right and center. In fact, he was instrumental in the Madurai Panthers lifting their maiden TNPL trophy.

It will be interesting to see how well he performs in the IPL since very little is known of him. A lot will be expected of him considering his heavy price tag. He is definitely one of their players to watch out for.
