Irfan says KKR used Varun too early against SRH

Irfan Pathan said KKR used Varun Chakravarthy too early against Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2026. He felt the spinner should have stayed out of the powerplay, since that made his rough spell harder to recover from. Pathan also said Ajinkya Rahane needs to lift Varun's confidence before KKR host Punjab Kings at Eden Gardens.
