Chakravarthy uploaded the picture on his Instagram stories, where Vijay is seen giving him a fist bump, and captioned it “Anna” along with a heart emoji.
Tamil Nadu witnessed a major political shake-up as “Thalapathy” Vijay made a dramatic entry into electoral politics. His party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), emerged as a disruptive force, cutting into the long-standing dominance of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and its arch-rival All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK).
Chakravarthy has had a mixed but largely impactful IPL 2026 campaign for Kolkata Knight Riders, showing his wicket-taking ability despite a few expensive outings.
The mystery spinner has picked up 10 wickets in 7 matches so far.
After going wicketless in his first three games, he produced a standout performance against Rajasthan Royals at Eden Gardens, returning exceptional figures of 3/14.
He followed it up with another strong display against Sunrisers Hyderabad, claiming 3/36. Chakravarthy has also delivered steady spells against Lucknow Super Giants (2/33) and Gujarat Titans (2/34).
However, he endured a slow start to the tournament, going wicketless in his opening three matches – against Chennai Super Kings (0/26), Sunrisers Hyderabad (0/31) and a costly outing against Mumbai Indians (0/48).
Kolkata Knight Riders are currently eighth in the points table, with three wins, five losses and one no result from nine matches so far.
KKR, the three-time IPL champions, are scheduled to face Delhi Capitals on May 8.
