Champions Trophy: Chakaravarthy Versus NZ Batters Will Be A Good Contest, Says Lalchand Rajput
But New Zealand: In the 2025 Champions Trophy, India wrist-spinner Varun Chakaravarthy has carved a reputation for turning the game in his side’s favour via his guile and variations. With India set to face New Zealand in the title clash in Dubai on Sunday, former cricketer-turned-coach Lalchand Rajput feels all eyes will be on how the Blackcaps batters stand up to the challenge posed by Chakaravarthy’s wizardry.
In the Group A clash between the two teams last week in Dubai, which India won by 44 runs, Chakaravarthy bamboozled them with his variations to pick 5-42, as the Indian spin quartet accounted for nine wickets. In the semi-final against Australia, Chakaravarthy took two wickets, including dangerous Travis Head in the first power-play.
But with Rachin Ravindra and Kane Williamson coming into the final on the back of scoring stellar centuries in the semi-final against South Africa in Lahore, the Blackcaps batters versus Chakaravarthy match-up shapes up as a significant match-defining clash.
