How did you cope? Varun is carefree. He said, ‘I don’t want to say anything big because I took three wickets today. That’s the style of the game. If there is nothing on the pitch in the next match, it will be the same with all the spinners. Seen at the start, all the spinners were getting beaten. When the pitch starts to slow down, that’s when we get back into the game, become more effective. So it’s part of the game. I don’t think much about these things.’
KKR Did you come down to bat and be a little more aggressive at the start, is it pressure or haste? Varun replied, ‘Yes, there could be many reasons. We weren’t winning. There was a lot of talk outside, which affected the players. But today we finished well, won the match. There is a lot of room for improvement. We had a lot of injuries before the tournament started, which sapped our strength. So credit to the coaching staff, especially the head coach Abhishek Nair. It is very difficult to manage a team in such a situation, it takes courage. He has pulled the team out of a difficult situation. It will take time. Go slowly, in small steps. We will get back on track.’
