Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) spin duo of Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine has been one of the most formidable partnerships in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Over the years, the two have developed an innate understanding, making them a key weapon in KKR's bowling arsenal.

Speaking about his bond with Narine, Varun acknowledged the veteran spinner's influence on his growth at KKR.

"Now that I've played five years alongside him--this is my sixth year with him--we don't need to communicate as much anymore. He doesn't have to spoon-feed me. Whatever I can learn, I can just observe what he is doing. Of course, if I have doubts, I always go up to him and talk to him. We have always bowled well in tandem, and he has been the most valuable player in T20 cricket from the very beginning. Even this year, he will be the MVP," Varun said on JioHotstar.
