Known for his variation, accuracy, and control in the middle overs, he has often succeeded in breaking partnerships and choking the run flow.
So far in his IPL career, Varun Chakaravarthy has played 8 matches against Mumbai Indians, picking up 9 wickets from 31 overs at an impressive average of 22.56 and an economy rate of 6.55. His best bowling figures against MI are 2/17, which came at Eden Gardens during the IPL 2024 season. Whether it’s the likes of Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, or Tilak Varma, Varun has managed to trouble key batters from MI consistently across seasons.
