Description:
Varun Chakaravarthy’s journey from an architect to one of India’s most mysterious spin bowlers is a story of passion, resilience, and transformation. Born in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, Varun initially pursued architecture as his profession and even worked in the field for a short time. However, his love for cricket never faded. In his mid-20s, he made a bold decision to leave his stable career and chase his dream of becoming a professional cricketer—a rare move that changed his life completely.
Starting in local tennis ball tournaments, Varun gradually developed his unique bowling style. His ability to spin the ball both ways with deceptive variations quickly caught attention. He joined the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL), where his performances impressed selectors and fans alike. His consistent displays earned him a spot in the Indian Premier League (IPL), where he was picked up by the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
