After playing a stand-out role in his team's handsome victory over in-form Delhi Capitals (DC) in Abu Dhabi on Saturday (October 24), finger-spinner Varun Chakravarthy said he has his eyes set on winning Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) their third IPL title. 

Defending KKR's massive total of 194/6, Chakravarthy bagged a rare T20 five-fer (5/20) and helped his team restrict the opposition to just 135/9.

An all-important victory, their sixth in eleven matches, has not only kept KKR among the top 4 but also boost their morale and Chakravarthy thinks they will definitely be able to carry the momentum from here on. 

"The next challenge is to get into the playoffs and lift the cup for KKR," Chakravarthy told Dinesh Karthik in a video posted over official IPL Twitter handle. 

The 29-year-old, who has taken 13 scalps in 11 innings while going at 7.37 runs per over this IPL season, also thanked Karthik, fellow Tamil Nadu cricketer and experienced wicketkeeper batsman, for all the support from behind the stumps. 

"It feels great to play alongside DK as I started by wicket-keeping because of DK," he said. "So, it feels great to be standing next to him. I have huge respect for him for what he has done for Tamil Nadu and India. I feel privileged to play under him."

Chakravarthy recalled the "surreal" experience of dismissing the great MS Dhoni in a match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) earlier this month. 

"It felt very surreal. I was a net bowler and before that, I used to go to Chepauk stadium to see the matches. To take the wicket of Dhoni was surreal and I will definitely cherish that moment in my life," he said.
