NEW DELHI: Kolkata Knight Riders scripted a pivotal win against Mumbai Indians in a rain-curtailed spectacle at the iconic Eden Gardens, securing a coveted spot in the playoffs of the Indian Premier League. The heroics of spinner Varun Chakravarthy stole the show, leaving a lasting imprint on KKR's journey to the playoffs.
Former India cricketer Virender Sehwag applauded the decision making from KKR, allowing Varun to bowl the maximum four overs [only one bowler was allowed to bowl four overs in an innings as the rain has curtailed the match to 16-overs-a-side] instead of more established international bowlers like Sunil Narine and Mitchell Starc.
