New Delhi, April 7: Varun Chakravarthy, known for his ability to secure victories for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and the Indian national team, is facing a significant drop in form, raising concerns among fans and analysts alike. His performance in the T20 World Cup 2026 was lackluster, and he has continued to struggle in IPL 2026.
In the 19th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Chakravarthy’s poor form has been evident. In two matches, he has bowled a total of 7 overs, conceding 79 runs and managing to take just one wicket. This is a stark contrast to his reputation as a mystery spinner known for taking crucial wickets.
Not only in the IPL but also during the T20 World Cup 2026, Chakravarthy’s performance has been a persistent worry for the Indian team. Batters have been able to attack him freely, and he has appeared under pressure throughout the tournament.
In his last six T20 matches, Chakravarthy has bowled 23 overs, giving away 273 runs, resulting in an economy rate of 11. These statistics clearly indicate the tough phase he is currently enduring in his preferred format.
While other bowlers’ performances masked his failures in the T20 World Cup, Chakravarthy’s declining form has become apparent in the initial matches of IPL 2026. KKR has heavily relied on him in recent seasons, and his ineffective bowling in the middle overs is now costing the team dearly.
It seems that batters have cracked the code to Chakravarthy’s ‘mystery’ deliveries, as he struggles to contain runs and secure wickets. If this poor form continues throughout IPL 2026, his position in the Indian T20 team could be at risk.
