Varun Chakravarthy said that the scene in the dressing room after the win against Rajasthan was a sight to behold. Many players were in tears, and the atmosphere was even more emotional than the celebration of the 2024 title win. This victory wasn’t just a two-digit mark for the team, but a battle for self-respect. In IPL history, only Mumbai Indians (eight consecutive losses in 2022), Delhi Capitals (2013), and RCB (2019) have had worse starts than KKR.
Varun’s performance and coach’s praise Varun, who led the team to victory by taking three wickets against Rajasthan, said that this performance was crucial amid the outside noise and constant criticism. Varun said, “The amount of emotion in the dressing room was more than when we won the trophy in 2024. This victory has proven that we are not a team that gives up easily.”
He further stated that injuries to several key players at the beginning of the tournament had weakened the team mentally. Varun gave full credit to coach Abhishek Nair for the team’s comeback, saying that it took a lot of courage to boost the team’s morale and keep them united during difficult circumstances. He is confident that the team will gradually get back on track.
