Will Varun Chakravarthy play KKR vs RCB?

Varun Chakravarthy's availability remains doubtful for Kolkata Knight Riders' match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Raipur. KKR assistant coach Shane Watson said the spinner aggravated a left leg injury but bowled through pain recently. RCB lead the table while KKR chase playoffs on a four-win streak.

RCB seek batting improvements after a last-ball win over Mumbai Indians. KKR won their last game by eight wickets against Delhi Capitals. The bowler-friendly pitch sets up a key spinners' battle if Chakravarthy features.

RCB top the standings but need points to secure playoffs. KKR risk elimination without a win. Both sides kept unchanged line-ups in recent matches per ESPNcricinfo.
