    Champions Trophy: ‘Exceptional’ Chakaravarthy Has Consistently Won Matches In Last 1.5 Years, Says Kumble

    ICC Champions Trophy: Legendary leg-spinner Anil Kumble has hailed an exceptional Varun Chakaravarthy for picking 5-42 in India’s 44-run win over New Zealand in the ICC Champions Trophy, saying the wrist-spinner has won matches for the teams he played for in last 1.5 years and that his recent performance is very encouraging for the Rohit Sharma led-side.

    At the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday, Chakaravarthy returned figures of 5-42, the combined best bowling figures in the ongoing tournament, in just his second ODI game to bamboozle New Zealand and ensure India end as Group A toppers.

    Chakaravarthy had been a late addition to India’s squad for the Champions Trophy, as he came in for left-handed opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, leaving people wondering if the side was carrying too much spinners for Dubai’s slow pitches. But on Sunday, Chakaravarthy and India proved that late decision to be fruitful.
