  • Uncapped mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy became the joint-most costliest player in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 auction, being held in Jaipur.

    The youngster was bought by Kings XI Punjab for a sum of Rs. 8.40 crore.

    He is also the costliest uncapped Indian player.

    This was massive for Varun, whose base price was just Rs. 20 lakh.

  • The mystery spinner had an excellent campaign in the Tamil Nadu Premier League, earlier in 2018.

    He created a storm after a superb show for Madurai Panthers as several batsmen failed to read the young spinner.

    Varun has several variations up his sleeves to create problems in the shortest format.

    His heroics were noticed by KXIP as they broke the bank to buy him.

  • Varun was bought 42 times of his base price.

    This shows that teams had a strategy for the player.

    Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders also went for the player, but KXIP had the last laugh.

    The side had the most salary cap available, which helped them to go the extra mile.

    Varun will add depth to the KXIP spin department.
