New Indian ExpressDUBAI: The Champions Trophy starts on Wednesday in Pakistan and Dubai. Here are five less heralded players looking to make a name for themselves at the 50-over tournament: Varun Chakravarthy A late entry into the Indian squad for the tournament, wrist spinner Varun Chakravarthy adds value to the bowling line-up on expected slow pitches in Dubai. He has been a standout in the Indian Premier League 20-over tournament and played a key role with 21 wickets in Kolkata Knight Riders' title triumph last year. Tayyab Tahir Middle-order batsman Tayyab Tahir was a breakout star for Pakistan in the 2023 Emerging Teams Asia Cup when his sparkling century led the team to victory in the final against arch-rivals India. Tom Banton Somerset batsman Tom Banton joined England in India for the final ODI of this month's series and showed glimpses of his talent in a 38-run knock for a losing cause.
