Ahead of the RCB's clash against KKR, former India batter Mohammed Kaif opined that spinner Varun Chakravarthy's absence could be beneficial for the IPL 2025 champions. "If Varun Chakaravarthy is not available, then it is a big plus for RCB. He has come back into form recently," he said. KKR have won their last four IPL 2026 matches.
