Kolkata Knight Riders's mystery spinner and IPL sensation Varun Chakravarthy received a massive recognition for his strong, impressive performances in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL).

He is on cloud nine after his maiden call-up for Team India as part of the T20 internationals of their upcoming tour of Australia. The leg-spinner in this IPL season took 12 wickets at an average of 23.50 and an economy of 7.05, which also includes an impressive five wicket haul in the team's recent victory over Delhi Capitals.

Now, it has been found that Varun Chakravarthy has acted in the 2014 Tamil movie 'Jeeva' directed by Suseenthiran. 'Jeeva' had Vishnu Vishal in the title role with Sri Divya, Soori and an ensemble cast. In the movie, which centred around caste politics in cricket in Tamil Nadu, Vishnu played the role of a talented cricketer who is denied opportunity to be part of the Indian team due to caste politics and how he gets a second chance in the form of a premier league to prove himself.

Varun Chakravarthy was seen in a small role in the movie as a teammate of hero Jeeva when he plays for a cricket club.

Hahaha....
Best wishes @imVChakravarthy
