Varun Chakravarthy experiment 2.0: Why India fans need to hold their horses

India Today  

India head into the Champions Trophy with their sights set on capturing their long-desired ICC ODI silverware. But they have also created immense pressure, with fans already expecting him to be India’s trump card in the Champions Trophy. Varun Is Not India’s Only Spin Option India boasts phenomenal spin depth in their Champions Trophy squad—so much so that even R Ashwin reportedly felt uneasy about the team’s decision to travel with four spinners. With such a well-rounded spin attack, India does not need to depend solely on Chakravarthy, even if Dubai’s conditions favor spin significantly. The Final Take There is no doubt that Varun Chakravarthy has the potential to be an asset for India in the Champions Trophy, but expecting him to be the linchpin of India’s campaign is premature.
