He took two wickets for 18 runs in a four -over spell against Chennai Super Kings. During this magnificent spell, Varun has made a big record by leaving Yuzvendra Chahal behind.

Spinner to complete the fastest 100 wickets in IPL

- Amit Mishra- 83 innings
- Sunil Naren- 85 innings
Kolkata Knight Riders have to play against their last two league stage matches Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). If the team wins these two matches, then they will have only two points in their account. The team cannot make it to the top-2 with 15 points, but may stall the claim for the top-4.
However, two wins will not guarantee Kolkata’s qualification in the playoffs. In such a situation, they have to depend on the results of other teams. They have to expect that Mumbai Indians (Mi) lose both their remaining matches against Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Delhi Capitals (DC). Apart from this, Delhi Capitals (DC) will also have to lose the match against Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Gujarat Titans (GT) by a big margin.
