Champions Trophy 2025: New Zealand planning to nullify Varun Chakaravarthy, says coach Stead

The Hindu  

In the group stage match against India, Varun Chakaravarthy left the New Zealand batting line-up in disarray by running through the middle-and lower-order, and Kiwi head coach Gary Stead believes the mystery spinner will hold the key in the final. “I think that’s just about adapting and working out on your feet what you think the par score is for the day and trying to be a bit ahead of that.” “I think the danger is you come from scoring 360-odd in a game and you think you will do that again immediately and go a little bit hard. From our perspective, it just comes down to a one-off game now.” The coach also backed Kane Williamson, and Rachin Ravindra, both of whom scored a century in the semifinal to come good again. So, look, fingers crossed from our perspective that Kane has a big day.” “Rachin had that nasty blow on his head in Lahore when we played there, but he’s come back and shown his class.
