IPL 2026: Most Wickets for KKR - Varun Chakravarthy becomes 3rd KKR player with Century Wickets

In the IPL 2026 Match 25 at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, Kolkata Knight Riders' mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy delivered a crucial blow by dismissing in-form Gujarat Titans batter Jos Buttler.

The Englishman looked set to anchor GT's innings alongside skipper Shubman Gill. However, Varun, often used as an Impact Player, struck after being hit for boundaries earlier in his spell.

The England wicketkeeper-batter fell to Varun's signature carrom ball or googly variation, ending a promising start and triggering a mini-collapse for GT. This wicket highlighted Varun's ability to bounce back under pressure, despite KKR's challenging season so far with their spin duo struggling for consistency.

Varun Chakravarthy gets 100 Wickets for KKR

With the wicket, Varun Chakrvarthy has got to 100 wickets for KKR in the IPL. The Tamil Nadu born mystery spinner has been a key part of the KKR nucleus since making his debut in 2020. He made an instant impact in 2020 with 17 wickets, including a memorable 5/20 against Delhi Capitals. Varun topped KKR's wicket charts in 2021 (18 wkts) and 2023 (20 wkts). His standout 2024 season saw 21 wickets, playing a vital role in KKR's IPL title win.

Most Wickets for KKR

In the history of KKR, Sunil Narine stands with 214 wickets, the most for the franchise. Andre Russell has also picked 124 wickets over the years, as Varun became only the 3rd player to get 100+ wickets.

Despite the milestone, KKR are looking pale in this encounter against GT as the Titans are heading towards a comfortable victory.
