Actor-turned-politician Vijay’s party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, has emerged victorious as the single largest vote share in Tamil Nadu. Vijay formed the party just 2 years ago and has successfully won the Tamil Nadu Assembly election to take control. Whole Tamil Nadu has erupted with fans celebrating this success. KKR and Indian Spinner Varun Chakravarthy also joined the celebrations by posting a picture on his Instagram story, congratulating Thalapathy Vijay.

Varun Chakravarthy has earlier been vocal about the fact that he is a Vijay fan. In 2020, his pic with Thalapathy Vijay went viral when he met the actor. Varun posted a fistbumping pic with Thalapathy after his meet. Sources revealed Varun had requested to meet Vijay, and it was made possible by his team.

Varun Chakravarthy’s comeback is an X factor for KKR in IPL 2026

Kolkata Knight Riders got their third consecutive victory of the season with a dominating 7-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Sunday May, 3rd. Varun Chakravarthy was awarded Player of the Match with his game-changing spell, taking 3 wickets. He took the wickets of the dangerous Travis Head, Smaran Ravichandran and Aniket Verma.

Varuun Chakravarthy, after a lean phase in the T20 World Cup 2026, continued such form in KKR too. But things have turned over since the match against the Rajasthan Royals. As Varun’s fiery spell, along with Narine, dismantled RR's explosive batting line-up at Eden Gardens. Similarly, against LSG in the last game, he bowled with perfection, not leaking many runs.

Varun now has 10 wickets in his last 4 games. Returning to the spinning duo has been a boon for KKR.
