I Want To Play Every Match India Is Playing, Says Spinner Varun Chakravarthy
CEAT Cricket Rating Awards: Fresh off India’s dramatic Asia Cup 2025 victory, spinner Varun Chakravarthy stands at the intersection of form, flair and controversy. His performance in the final, combined with his cheeky social media gesture, has amplified his standing as a key spin weapon for India — one he hopes extends across formats in the coming years.
In the Asia Cup final against Pakistan in Dubai, Chakravarthy played a vital role, picking crucial wickets (2-30) and helping trigger Pakistan’s collapse from 113/1 to 146 all out. His dismissals of openers Sahibzada Farhan and Fakhar Zaman tilted the match in India’s favour.
But the on-field victory was complicated by the post-match drama. India refused to accept the trophy from ACC chairman and PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi. Dignitaries walked off, and Indian players celebrated with an imaginary trophy in their midst.
