Varun chakravarti
The first semi -final match of the Champions Trophy 2025 will be played between India and Australia at the Dubai International Stadium on March 04. India had earlier played their last against New Zealand in group stage and won by 44 runs there. The heroes of this victory of India were Shreyas Iyer and Varun Chakraborty. Iyer played an important innings of 79 runs in batting, while Chakraborty took 5 wickets in bowling. Everyone is praising him after Chakraborty’s performance. In this episode, former Team India veteran leg -spinner Anil Kumble has also praised Varun.
What did Anil Kumble say in praise of Varun Chakraborty
Former Indian leg -spinner Anil Kumble appreciated Varun excellent bowling and said that his performance would provide confidence to India. Kumble quoted ESPNCRICINFO as saying that he feels that Varun has been spectacular in the last 1 to 1.5 years, for whom he has played for the team he has played continuously, whether it is Tamil Nadu or KKR or T20 for India. And now they are getting a chance in ODIs, they are leaving their mark there too.
Kumble wants to see all four spinners playing in the semi -finals
The former leg spinner further came forward that but given the pitch and circumstances, it is a good sign for India that his spinners are currently in good form. And if India continues to play on a similar pitch in Dubai, this four spin bowler will actually be a challenge for any team. It will be extremely difficult for Australia to play these four spinners. This statement of Kumble can be said that he wants India to play with four spinners in the semi -finals.
Varun’s statement after match against New Zealand
After the match against New Zealand, Varun said that he was initially nervous but talking to the seniors player helped him calm down. He further said, “He came to know a night before the match that he would play in this match. He was expecting to play for the country and was also eager for it but on the other hand he was feeling a bit nervous because he did not have the experience of playing ODIs.
