Varun Chakaravarthy Has Got Something Different, Creates Good Selection Headache: Rohit Sharma
Dubai International Stadium: After India sealed their semi-final date with Australia in the 2025 Champions Trophy with a 44-run win over New Zealand, skipper Rohit Sharma said the move to play Varun Chakaravarthy, who took 5-42, was to try and see what the wrist-spinner can bring to the table.
At the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday, Chakaravarthy, playing just his second ODI, led India’s charge on a slow black soil pitch with a superb 5-42, the best figures by a bowler in the ongoing tournament, to bowl out New Zealand for 205 in 45.3 overs and emerge as Group A toppers with a 44-run win.
“Varun has got something different, wanted to try and see what he had to offer. We got to think a little about what to do for the next game, good headache (on his selection). If he gets it right, very difficult to read him,” said Rohit in the post-match presentation ceremony.
