Reacting to his earlier tweet from two months ago, where he stated that India would make a “grave error” if they don't pick Chakaravarthy for the Champions Trophy, Karthik shared his thoughts on X, saying, “Could they’ve fitted him in??? ?” Chakaravarthy's strong performances Chakravarthy, known for his deceptive variations and uncanny accuracy, had been particularly exceptional during the second T20I of the series against South Africa, where he returned remarkable figures of 5/17.
