In the first match against Bangladesh, Varun Chakraborty took three important wickets and in the second match, he bowled even better than the first match. He bowled with more confidence. He continuously bowled on the stumps line due to which Bangladesh batsmen failed to play big shots. This is a very good sign for him. After all, why do you want to feed Varun Chakraborty? The next World Cup is to be held in India after 2 years. You included Chahal in the World Cup but did not give him a chance to play even a single match: Aakash Chopra Regarding Yuzvendra Chahal, Aakash Chopra said, ‘You included Chahal in the team. If Varun Chakraborty can do this at the age of 33 then why not Chahal? You included him in the team in the World Cup but he did not get a chance to play in a single match. Great spinners are bowling well in every IPL season but they are not getting a chance in international cricket. I want to know why this is so?

How did Varun Chakraborty make a comeback? Speaking on his success in recent years, the 33-year-old player said that the change from side-spin bowling to over-spin bowling helped him achieve more success. “Earlier I was a side-spin bowler, but now I have become a complete over-spin bowler,” Varun told the post-match press conference. The spinner said he worked on this type of bowling for more than two years, starting with some testing in the Tamil Nadu Premier League and Indian Premier League. He further said, “It is a small technical aspect of spin bowling, but it took me more than two years. I gradually tested it in TNPL and IPL. Although the mental aspect also had to be worked on, the bulk of the effort I put in was on my technical side.” During his time away from the Indian team, he became one of the main bowlers for Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL, teaming up with West Indies T20 superstar spin legend Sunil Narine. After a poor 2022 season, in which he took just six wickets in 11 matches, he made a strong comeback in the 2023 and 2024 seasons, in which he took 20 and 21 wickets respectively. In the 2024 IPL, his partnership with Narine in spin bowling and average of 19.14 played a crucial role in the franchise’s first IPL win in 10 years and third title overall.
