Champions Trophy: Ashwin Urges Rohit To Open With Chakaravarthy Against Head In Semis Vs Australia
Ash Ki Baat: Former India spin veteran Ravichandran Ashwin shared an antidote to tackle Travis Head in the Champions Trophy semifinal against Australia, suggesting captain Rohit Sharma give the new ball to mystery spinner Varun Chakaravarthy and ask him to bowl over the stumps to the left-hander Aussie.
Chakaravarthy put on an impressive show in India's final group game against New Zealand on Sunday. Playing only his second ODI game for India, the leg-spinner claimed the wickets of opener Will Young, Glenn Phillips, Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner and Matt Henry to end up with the figures of 5-42, his maiden ODI fifer, as India bowled the Black Caps out for 205 in their chase of 250.
“New ball and give it to Varun and ask him to bowl over the stumps to Travis Head,” Ashwin said on his Youtube channel 'Ash Ki Baat'. "Travis Head shows all his three stumps and then clears his leg and hit it over the field. Varun Chakravarthy with new ball might give India an edge. It will be a mouth watering contest," he added.
