The mystery spinner, Varun Chakravarthy scalped the crucial wicket of the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) skipper, David Warner in emphatic fashion during Kolkata Knight Riders’ (KKR) second match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 on Saturday. Warner won the toss and opted to bat first but his side got off to a very slow start.

 David, who had already lost his opening partner Jonny Bairstow (5) to Pat Cummins’ in the 4th over on a darting delivery, took the responsibility upon himself to go big. The Australian opener did manage to find some impetus along with Manish Pandey playing the supporting role on the other side.

However, Chakravarthy’s change of pace helped KKR to make inroads in the SRH’s batting lineup. Varun’s turning delivery was misread by Warner (36) as the ball caught the blade of the Aussie opener’s bat and bounced straight back to the bowler for an easy caught and bowled.

SRH never managed to recover from that position of being down to 59/2 in 9 overs. However, Manish Pandey (51 off 38 balls) and Wriddhiman Saha (30 of 31 balls) made a decent partnership of 62 runs for the third wicket but it wasn’t enough for SRH to reach the decent total. Pandey got out in the 18th over followed by the dismissal of Saha in the final over. Eventually, they only managed to reach a total of 142/4 in their quota of 20 overs.
