\u201cI was an architect by profession. However, after my business didn\u2019t work, I decided to switch my career and play professional cricket. I started playing professionally at the age of 26 and it has worked out well till here,\u201d said Chakravarthy<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He also shared an interesting story about him being in a Tollywood film. \u201cBack then, I actually wanted to be an assistant director in that film but ended up being a side actor. But it was huge for me back then to be a part of such a big film,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cInitially I wasn\u2019t sure if I would be picked as a player, but I was confident that I would be picked as a net bowler. On the auction day, my name didn\u2019t come up for a long time and I\u2019d given all hope. However, It was a pleasant surprise to be picked by KKR. I didn\u2019t expect to be picked by them, but the feeling was amazing. I was flooded with messages. I had the confidence in myself that one day I would play at the IPL, but I wasn\u2019t expecting it to be this early,\u201d said Suyash Sharma.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The two spinners might have some healthy competition between them but there is no doubt with regards to who is the best spinner in this KKR side.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cCurrently, Sunil Narine is sitting on 500 wickets in T20 cricket so there\u2019s absolutely no competition about who is the best spinner in KKR,\u201d said Varun.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Varun and Suyash, both speak fondly about their first meeting with SRK, one of the biggest stars in India and also the majority stake owner in the Kolkata-based franchise.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIn IPL 2020, my first year at KKR, I picked up a fifer against DC in a crucial game. After the game, Shahrukh sir called me and congratulated me on my performance and it felt amazing,\u201d added Varun.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cShahrukh sir had come to see my debut game for KKR. After the match, he came and spoke to me and told me that he would be praying for me that I play for India soon and it was an incredible moment,\u201d concluded Suyash.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/05\/i-was-an-architect-by-profession-varun-chakaravarthy-and-suyash-sharma-discuss-their-cricketing-journey-and-meeting-srk.jpg", "alt_img": "'I was an architect by profession': Varun Chakaravarthy and Suyash Sharma discuss their cricketing j", "alt_title": "'I was an architect by profession': Varun Chakaravarthy and Suyash Sharma discuss their cricketing j", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "'I Was An Architect By Profession': Varun Chakaravarthy And Suyash Sharma Discuss Their Cricketing Journey And Meeting SRK On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "'I Was An Architect By Profession': Varun Chakaravarthy And Suyash Sharma Discuss Their Cricketing Journey And Meeting SRK, Kolkata Knight Riders: In an episode of the Knights Dugout, the spin duo of Varun Chakravarthy and young breakout star,.", "seo_keywords": "Kolkata Knight Riders, Varun Chakaravarthy, Suyash Sharma, New Delhi, Knights Dugout, Varun Chakravarthy, Shah Rukh Khan, Sunil Narine, In IPL", "tag": "", "tagging": "Kolkata Knight Riders, Varun Chakaravarthy, Suyash Sharma, New Delhi, Knights Dugout, Varun Chakravarthy, Shah Rukh Khan, Sunil Narine, In IPL", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "i-was-an-architect-by-profession-varun-chakaravarthy-and-suyash-sharma-discuss-their-cricketing-journey-and-meeting-srk", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "1003", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2024-05-18 16:54:04", "updated": "2024-05-18 16:54:04", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Kolkata Knight Riders, Varun Chakaravarthy, Suyash Sharma, New Delhi, Knights Dugout, Varun Chakravarthy, Shah Rukh Khan, Sunil Narine, In IPL", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-05-18 16:54:04", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/i-was-an-architect-by-profession-varun-chakaravarthy-and-suyash-sharma-discuss-their-cricketing-journey-and-meeting-srk-144902" }
