After the match, Varun said, “IPL is different from the rest of cricket. It must be accepted. Last season also had an impact player rule. This time the teams are making better use of that rule. The batters are hitting from the start. The bowlers have nothing to cry about. You have to deal with it.” A few days ago Rohit Sharma, Mohammed Siraj spoke against impact players.
Kolkata had to lose against Punjab Kings by 261 runs. KKR's bowlers were criticized in that match. They won the match against Delhi. Varun said, “It is getting easier to bat in the second innings. The bowlers are getting help in the first innings. The ball was rolling. You don't get that much help in other matches."
Varun also said that it is difficult to bowl in the heat of Kolkata. He said, “There is so much humidity here that hands are sweating. I have not seen this in the last few years. But I don't want to use that as an excuse."
