IPL 2020: Bowling to Dhoni was surreal, says KKR spinner Varun Chakravarthy

Abu Dhabi, Oct 8 (UNI) Kolkata Knight Riders spinner Varun Chakravarthy has said that it was a "surreal moment" for him to bowl to the former Indian captain MS Dhoni during his team's clash against Chennai Super Kings.
Varun Chakravarthy had a memorable moment on Wednesday when he got the crucial wicket of MS Dhoni in the 17th over of the CSK's innings. CSK fell short of 10 runs when they could score just 157 runs in 20 overs.
The spinner revealed that three years ago, he used to cheer for CSK and MS Dhoni from the stands at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk. He was a net bowler in the CSK camp, hoping to impress the likes of Dhoni with his multiple variations.
Varun, who was on top of the world after the crucial wicket, asked the former India captain Dhoni for a photograph after the match and the latter obliged.
''I was feeling the pressure when Mahi Bhai was at the crease because three years back I used to go to Chepauk and I used to watch the matches just because of Dhoni. Bowling to him was a surreal moment for me, the pitch was really flat against CSK,'' Chakravarthy told his team mate Rahul Tripathi in a video posted on iplt20.com.
''Mahi bhai was going really well, I just thought that if I can land the ball on a good length, I might take his wicket, thankfully I was able to execute it really well. After the match, I took a picture with Dhoni sir as well,'' he added.
