Spinning Success in the IPL
Away from politics, the bowler has found his rhythm after a difficult start to the current season. After remaining wicketless initially, he has claimed ten wickets in his last four matches.
Reflecting on his recent form after a win against Hyderabad, Chakravarthy noted that early-season pitches are often flat. He explained that life is typically very difficult for spinners during this period.
