This KKR star cricketer, who earns ₹12 crore in IPL, worked as junior artist in Tamil film for ₹600
Cricket and films are the greatest pastimes in India, with fandoms bordering on obsession. So, it's only natural that once in a while, a cricket player will toe the line with acting (Sourav Ganguly, Sreesanth) either out of passion or need. There's one such star spin bowler from Shah Rukh Khan's IPL team, Kolkata Knight Riders, who once worked as a junior artist for a Tamil film for ₹ 600. This Kolkata Knight Riders star cricketer dabbled in various fields before becoming a spinner. Varun Chakravarthy, aka CV Varun, discussed the various roles he dabbled in during a chat with the retired Test player R Ashwin on his YouTube channel. Now 33, Varun said he found his true calling for cricket at 26. He dabbled being a guitarist, architect, filmmaker and even an actor before that. While in college, Varun worked at an architectural firm, where he earned ₹ 14,000 per month. By the time he left, he had earned ₹ 18,000. At 24, he dabbled in filmmaking and decided to work as an assistant director. While working with director Suseenthiran in the 2014 Tamil film Jeeva, he made an appearance as a cricket on-screen. 'I signed as a junior artist for ₹ 600 per day,' he said. When Ashwin asked him how much his daily allowance is now as a cricketer, Varun replied with a smile, 'Right now it's $300 ( ₹ 25,000).' Varun said that he got the opportunity to play cricket on-screen as he would take part in Tennis ball tournaments. 'They used to announce that if you hit a six, you get ₹ 300. If you bowl a yorker, you'll get ₹ 200,' he said. From a man who once worked as a junior artist, Varun is now a star cricketer who earns ₹ 12 crore for the IPL season, according to a Koimoi report. Varun was born in 1991 in Bidar, Karnataka, to Vinod Chakravarthy, an ITS officer working for BSNL, and Malini, a housewife. His father is half Tamil and half Malayali, and his mother is Kannadiga. He gave up a job in architecture to pursue cricket as a profession. He came into the limelight during the 2018 Tamil Nadu Premier League. The same year, he was bought by Preity Zinta's Kings XI Punjab for the 2019 Indian Premier League (IPL). In the 2020 IPL auction, he was bought by Shah Rukh's KKR team. Varun has won 8 Player of the Match awards in the IPL, one of the most by any bowler in the tournament.

ICC announces new cricket rules as playing conditions change across formats
The International Cricket Council announced new rules for playing conditions across the Test, ODI and T20I formats. These changes range from ball usage to concussion replacements, and were recommended by the ICC Men's Cricket Committee, headed by Sourav Ganguly. The new playing conditions commenced with the first match of the new World Test Championship on June 17, played between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh The new playing conditions for ODIs and T20Is will commence during the same Sri Lanka against Bangladesh series, with the first of three ODIs from July 2, and a three-match T20I series from July 10. Here are a list of the changes that have been introduced: Stop clock After a successful introduction in white-ball cricket, Test cricket will also see a stop clock. This means after 1 over is completed, the bowling team needs to be ready to bowl the first ball of their next over within 60 seconds. Failure to do so for the third time in an innings (following two warnings) will result in a five-run penalty imposed against the fielding team on each occasion. Two warning sanctions will be reset to zero after 80 overs have passed, in line with a new ball becoming available, and again after any future blocks of 80 overs in that innings. Number of balls per ODI innings Two new balls will be used for the first 34 overs of an ODI innings. After this, the fielding team will choose one of the balls for the remaining overs. Boundary catches A fielder who makes airborne contact with the ball beyond the boundary must then land and remain inside the boundary. A fielder, after making their first contact with the ball subsequently leaves the field of play, can only make contact with the ball once more while airborne beyond the boundary. Having done so, they must land and remain wholly within the boundary. This applies even if another player completes the fielding. This change will be implemented in international cricket before it is included in the MCC Laws of Cricket next year. Deliberate short runs Adding to the present five-run penalty for a deliberate short run, the fielding team will also choose which of the two batters takes strike for the next delivery. DRS wicket zone The wicket zone will now be the actual outline of the stumps and bails. Concussion protocols Teams will now be required to nominate their designated concussion replacements for the match. This curbs the advantage previously held by home teams, who have typically been able to choose from a larger pool of potential replacements. A player diagnosed with a concussion during a match must observe a minimum stand-down period of a minimum of seven days before returning to play. This change has been recommended by the ICC Medical Advisory Committee to support players' safety and well-being. Further changes to be trialled In addition to these changes, additional ones will be implemented from October 2025 for an initial 6-month period. Replacement players (domestic first-class cricket) A player who suffers a serious injury on the field of play at any time after the match has started (including any pre-match warm-up period) may be replaced for the remainder of the match by a fully participating like-for-like player. Wide Ball Trial (ODI and T20I cricket) The position of the batter's legs at the point of delivery will now be used as the reference point for a wide, even if the batter subsequently moves across to the off side. A ball that passes the popping crease between the leg stump and the protected area marker will not be called a wide. To help with this, the protected area marker line will be extended to the popping crease and act as a guide for the umpires. Any leg side delivery that passes behind the batter's legs and outside of the line at the time the ball reaches the popping crease may still be called a wide. Previously, a wide had been called for a delivery that would not have been called wide if the batter had retained their normal batting position.
