In all, Varun has missed three matches so far, but even when he has played, it has not always looked pretty. Ever since he injured his toe in Hyderabad on May 3, he has limped through spells, through practice, onto and off buses. He has been restricted mostly to short third and short fine, positions that ask less of the body between deliveries, and there have been games where he has finished his four overs and been subbed out almost immediately.
