Varun Chakaravarthy, playing through two finger fractures, led Kolkata Knight Riders to their first IPL 2026 victory against Rajasthan Royals on Sunday. The mystery spinner took 3/14 in four overs while Sunil Narine contributed 2/26, restricting Royals to 155. KKR chased down the target in a four-wicket win despite struggling at 85/6.
