Kolkata Knight Riders spinner Varun Chakaravarthy is reportedly a serious doubt for the must-win clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Raipur on Wednesday, May 13. The mystery spinner picked up an injury during KKR\u2019s recent victory over Delhi Capitals on the Arun Jaitley Stadium.<\/span><\/p>\n After the match in Delhi, Varun was spotted walking with the assistance of a cane while wearing a protective boot, sparking concerns over his fitness ahead of the away fixture against the defending champions.<\/span><\/p>\n As per a report by Telegraph India, the spinner has worsened the injury to his leg, putting his participation in serious doubt. <\/span><\/p>\n He had initially suffered the problem during KKR\u2019s win over Sunrisers Hyderabad on the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium and was also seen limping near the tip of his spell against DC. KKR assistant coach Shane Watson also shared an update on Varun\u2019s condition, stating that the spinner is under remark and stays doubtful for the upcoming match.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cVarun Chakravarthy continues to be being monitored in the intervening time. Obviously he\u2019s been sore. Within the last two games he was in lots of pain. Though he still bowled incredibly well, to see where he began off within the season to where he\u2019s ended up attending to has been incredible to see,\u201d Watson said in the course of the pre-match press conference (via India Today<\/span>).<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re just monitoring him in the intervening time. We\u2019ve got our fingers crossed that he\u2019ll be available for tomorrow, but we\u2019re still not exactly sure,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Kolkata Knight Riders, currently eighth on the points table with nine points from 10 matches, are in a must-win situation. The three-time champions have bounced back strongly with 4 consecutive victories after failing to win any of their opening six games.<\/span><\/p>\n The star spinner had earlier missed Kolkata Knight Riders\u2019 matches against Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants due to a finger injury before making his comeback within the away fixture against Chennai Super Kings. Varun Chakaravarthy managed only two wickets during KKR\u2019s poor run in the primary half of the season. <\/span><\/p>\n Nevertheless, the mystery spinner has rediscovered his rhythm since then, claiming eight wickets in the next matches, including two decisive performances against Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad, helping revive his form.<\/span><\/p>\n Get the newest cricket news here, like us on Facebook<\/a>, and follow us on Twitter<\/a> and <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\nVarun Chakaravarthy shines with eight wickets during KKR four-match winning streak <\/span><\/h3>\n
