[VIDEOS] India mystery spinner - Varun Chakravarthy

The lad smashed it today. Very entertaining bowling. A leggie on song is a wonderful sight.
 
Intelligent bowler.

Not a great comventional spin bowling talent but has been consistently bowling tight in IPL for years. Finally get some recognition in international cricket also.
Good for him.
 
He started putting more revs on the ball .Should be tested now enough against all the sides to decide for the next t20 wc unlike 21wc.If he performs,Kuldeep can stick for longer formats.Washi,axar,bishnoi,Varun will be the quartet for the t20s.
 
Varun Chakravarthy bowled 14 of his 24 balls on the stumps line, taking 3 scalps during the 1st T20I against England

He has been fantastic since his comeback in the T20Is. He has taken 20 wickets in the last 8 matches.

No real mystery to him. Accuracy(5-6 m length), pace and loads of overspin is what it is.

I think it is the perception he creates. Some kind of optical illusion. You think ball is going to leave you as a right hander when he releases. More often than not ball comes back at you. That is why they try to read him off the pitch. Sure on surfaces that doesn't grip he will have his task cut out. But he still can buy wickets through accuracy.
 
Major said:
Is he similar to Abrar or who is better?

Hard to say . They are similar in style but I haven't seen any underlying data for Abrar.

Varun has remodeled his bowling to put a lot of overspin on the ball and is landing it very accurately. Indian analysts on Twitter have posted a lot on that.

astonishing to see he has made a comeback after his career was almost ended by rizbar in 2021 t20 wc

Ended? lol seriously? Scoring 20 odd runs chasing 150 under heavy dew is ending career? ONly reason he was ignored because his other areas were extremely poor. Batting and fielding. India had to go with Sundar and other lal rounders.
 
He looked quality today vs England. Would Abrar be the same if he played on this surface or is varun on another level? What's varun got what Abrar hasnt? Can Abrar learn from him by studying his videos???

Not sure what pace at which Abrar bowls. Varun bowls normally at 100 kph. He is very deceptive. It is almost like medium pace. That curving ball is similar to Shahid afridi's faster one. He also made a major shift recently with his bowling technique. He used to bowl side spin. Now he has moved on to over-spin. Since then he is a completely different beast.

"I used to be a side-spin bowler, but right now, I have completely shifted to being an over-spin bowler. It's a minute technical aspect of spin bowling, but it took me more than two years. I gradually tested it in TNPL and IPL. While the mental aspect also had to be worked on, the major chunk of effort I put in was on my technical side," he said

This is where i salute and take my hat of to Indians as they always look to evolve and improve. On the other hand Pakistanis live of a few performances and think its their right to play for Pakistan without ever being dropped.
 
There has been a pattern to a lot of Varun's wickets since his comeback. In the four T20Is in South Africa, Varun dismissed Heinrich Klaasen, Reeza Hendricks, Aiden Markram and David Miller immediately after those batters had hit him for four or six, usually by doing something different the following delivery. Here in Kolkata, Varun's dismissals of Brook and Buttler followed the same pattern.
"It has always been [my aim] to look for wickets, and never go for defensive mode," Varun said. "Even if I go for a six, I look for a wicket next ball. To attack a lot, that's what has been told to me by the management. I keep different plans for people who pick [my variations]. And different plans for those who don't. Playing England was going to be tough since they are a tough side and this is a small ground, and I was nervous in the morning by looking at the pitch, but I knew if I stick to my process, it would work."

He is a late bloomer as well. He was working as an architect. He was playing tennis ball cricket while working as an architect. At the age of 25 he quit the job and went full-time. YOu need some real mental clarity to give up a good job at that age. Within 3 years IPL team picked him. He is naturally a talented guy. He is into drawing, music, acting etc

He is now 33 and can serve for another 4-5 years at least.
 
Varun Chakaravarthy, while speaking to a media outlet, stated that his primary focus remains on improving his bowling:

"95% of my focus is on myself because if I remove it from myself and put it on the batter, I'll miss my process and end up bowling a full toss or a short ball. Even if it's the death over or the powerplay, my focus remains on my process. I don't think much about what the batter is going to do, but it does run in the back of my mind."

"I've worked on trying to vary my pace. I don't want batters to line me up because I'm bowling at the same speed every ball. That's what I've worked on, and I'm trying to perfect it further."

"After the 2021 World Cup, I analysed my bowling. I realised I was bowling more sidespin, so I was not able to beat the batsman with the sidespin. I figured out that I had to beat them through bounce, so I started working on my overspin bowling, and that's working now. If it bounces more, the chances are it'll spin more."

It has always been to look for wickets. Even if you get hit for a six, you look for a wicket with the next ball and keep attacking the stumps. That's what has been told to me."

"It's very nice. Playing against England, a top side, at Eden (Gardens) is challenging. It's a small ground. I was nervous in the morning looking at the pitch and the boundary size, but I thought if I stick to my process, I'll be able to do well."

Sounds like an intelligent man.

We hardly see cricketers talking both about technique and mental aspect.

We could have continued with him like Pakistan did with serial bottlers who bat at snail's pace, but we dropped him and he made some real strides to make a comeback.
 
I have never understood the term "mystery spinner".

Varun Chakravarthy seems like a regular spinner to me. Nothing mysterious.

Only mystery spinners for me would be Sunil Narine and Ajantha Mendis.
 
Varun Chakaravarthy in this T20I series against England (2025)

1st T20I : 4-23-3
2nd T20I : 4-38-2
 
Take a bow Varun bhai. This is so well deserved after years of being a star performer in the IPL. All the hard work paying off.
 
To be fair, Eng have made a mess of facing him. He will not get such leeway from teams like SA who have solid spin hitters

4 games 12 wickets at 11.5 with a 5 wicket haul against SA in SA. Those were pretty flat wickets with India scoring 283/1 in one of the games.
 
I think india missed a trick here by not including him in the squad for the CT.
 
According to reports Varun Chakravarthy has been added to the Indian team for the ODI series against England.

If he performed good then maybe he Will be included in the champion trophy team before 11 Feb deadlines .

:kp
 
Interesting. But who will they leave out. They cannot have both Kuldeep and varun in the side meaning they will have to drop a seamer. Also Varun cannot bat either. He has never played ODIs before. It is a huge gamble.

India captain Rohit Sharma hinted at a late change in the team's ICC Champions Trophy 2025 squad during a press conference ahead of the first ODI against England:

"Varun has clearly got something different about him, and we want to see what we can do. I understand it's a different format. Right now we are not thinking about the CT, but if he does well, then there is something to think about."

Varun Chakaravarthy Creates History, Becomes 2nd Indian To Take Five-Wicket Haul On Champions Trophy Debut

Star Indian spinner Varun Chakaravarthy joined Mohammed Shami in an elite list of Indian bowlers on Sunday (March 2) by becoming only the second bowler to take a five-wicket haul on Champions Trophy debut. The 33-year-old spinner was included in the playing XI for Sunday’s Group A match against New Zealand in place of Harshit Rana, and he finished the match with figures of 5 for 42 in 10 overs.

Chakaravarthy opened his wicket account on the third ball of the 12th over of the run chase by breaching Will Young’s defence and shattering his stumps. Young scored 22 runs from 35 balls. His second wicket came in the form of Glenn Phillips, who was trapped in front of the wickets for 12 runs from 8 balls.

Chakaravarthy then dismissed Michael Bracewell lbw for 2 runs and completed his five-wicket haul by removing Mitchell Santner and Matt Henry in his last over of the match. While Santner was clean bowled by Varun, Henry was caught by Virat Kohli.

During India’s first match of the Champions Trophy 2025, Shami also picked up a five-wicket haul against Bangladesh for 53 runs in 10 overs.

Indians to take five-wicket haul in Champions Trophy:

Ravindra Jadeja: 5/36 vs West Indies at The Oval on June 11, 2013
Mohammed Shami: 5/53 vs Bangladesh in Dubai on February 20, 2025
Varun Chakaravarthy: 5/42 vs New Zealand in Dubai on March 2, 2025

Overall, Chakaravarthy is the third Indian bowler after Ravindra Jadeja and Shami to take a five-wicket haul for India in the Champions Trophy.

Varun’s 5/42 is the second-best bowling figure by an Indian in the Champions Trophy, and it also helped the Rohit Sharma-led side defeat New Zealand by 44 runs to secure a third win in a row in the Champions Trophy 2025.

Varun Chakaravarthy Creates History, Becomes 2nd Indian To Take Five-Wicket Haul On Champions Trophy Debut - News18

In his first-ever Champions Trophy match for Team India on Sunday (March 2), Varun Chakaravarthy picked up five wickets for 42 runs in 10 overs.
www.news18.com www.news18.com
 
Gotta give him credit for evolving and adapting after his initial run where he was quickly found out. Right now, based on his current form I think any team would struggle to pick him on pitches that offer even the slightest bit of turn.
 
Varun Chakaravarthy- India post-match press conference, 2 March '25 answered following queries:

[Reporter:]

When did you come to know that you have been included in the XI? Today or yesterday?

[Varun Chakaravarthy:]

I got to know yesterday.

[Reporter:]

Was there any pressure? Because, you know, five spinners or four spinners will be playing. Was there any pressure on you?

[Varun Chakaravarthy:]

Not much because the senior spinner Kuldeep is also playing, Jaddu is also playing, so not much pressure because they are also there. And of course, being an all-spin attack is also in certain ways gives a lot of pressure because there are no much fast-bowling options. So, you need to hit the money.

[Reporter:]

Varun, you have interacted a lot with Ravi Chandra Ashwin just before the game. He had predicted that you would play in this game. A on that. And Rohit Sharma the other day he said that even during the nets you don't bowl too many missed revolves even to your teammates. Your thoughts on that?

[Varun Chakaravarthy:]

For the first question, yes I've spoken to him during our TNPL times. I play for his team. I do have some conversations with him at those times. And yeah, he's been a well-wisher for me. And the second question, yeah, the thing that I don't bowl is not right, because I do bowl all my variations. But in T20, I build my over differently. The way of sequencing different balls is different. And in ODI, it is different. So that's why they don't feel that I don't bowl all the variations, but I do bowl all the variations.

[Reporter:]

Varun, how heartening and satisfying was it to get this five-wicket haul at this very venue? This is a place where you had not so great memories four years ago. So, to come back here, also, how was it feeling when you dropped that catch? Did that unsettle you? And how happy you are to make a strong comeback with this fine performance today?

[Varun Chakaravarthy:]

Yeah, of course, in 2021, we didn't have a - I didn't, personally, I didn't have a great tournament here. But I do feel that I did bowl decently. But the results were not our way. But it looks good right now. And Team India is doing well. And the combinations have set very well so feels good and - what was the other question?

It was in the free hit, sorry it was not a catch, it was a free hit.

[Reporter:]

Just talk a bit about your bowling?

[Varun Chakaravarthy:]

And yeah of course the first spell of mine I was little nervous because the previous things, the emotions and all were playing whatever happened in the last three years before in this ground. Where little bit it was playing with me and I was trying to keep it down, control it. But Virat bhai, Rohit and even Hardik, they were telling calm down, calm down. They were coming and talking to me. That really helped.

[Reporter:]

Varun, going back to that catch thing that he mentioned, it was sort of a half chance to be fair, but did by any chance played that on your mind, given that it was Kane Williamson and he was looking well-set. Did by any chance that drop chance played on your mind and when you came to bowl for your second spell?

[Varun Chakaravarthy:]

Sir, as I mentioned it was the it was in a free hit so it was not a catch - even if I had caught it was not a catch. But the fact is that I ended up pushing it to the boundary with my leg. That was bad on my part. Yeah, otherwise I could have done it better.

[Reporter:]

For a mystery spinner like yourself, who has been so tuned and accustomed to playing the shorter format, the 4-over format, how do you go about planning a longer spell, say a 10-over spell? How do you decide, when do you decide which mystery ball to reveal when? When do you get that sense? And how much did playing List- A cricket for Tamil Nadu just before this help you get into that 10 over rhythm and groove?

[Varun Chakaravarthy:]

Yeah, good question because T20 as I told, as I mentioned before, my sequencing of balls as in how I construct an over is totally different compared to the 50-over format. And that I was able to figure out when I played the last two years in Vijay Hazare. And it really helped me to understand when I can bowl my incoming delivery or outgoing delivery or the straighter one or the top spin, whatever it is. But that gave me a sense of awareness of when to bowl, it is completely different from what I do in the T20. So, yeah, that it took me a lot of playing.

[Reporter:]

Did you actually manage to express yourself fully and bowl all your array of deliveries? Because was there also a luck factor today, I think. One was a not out actually, one was a played on, one was actually a tail ender shot. So just wanted to say, did you manage to express your full and bowl, all your variations?

[Varun Chakaravarthy:]

Yeah, but yeah, I think I can do it better. But I would definitely not term it as luck. But it was definitely planned out. I planned out all the deliveries. And if it happens, it happens. In cricket anything can happen and can't term it as luck.

[Reporter:]

Was there a lot of help for you from the wicket? And if there is, how do you ensure that you don't overuse your variations and stick to the conditions and ball? How do you plan that thing?

[Varun Chakaravarthy:]

So, it was not a rank turner as such, which people were projecting it to be, But definitely it was holding on a bit, and it was deviating a little bit just to create the doubt. So basically, you had to play around it. So, I would say I would dedicate my five wickets to the other bowlers also. The way they bowled on the other side helped me pick wickets on this side.

[Reporter:]

Varun, in T20s, there is more chances of a batsman taking more risks. But in ODI, they can come out prepared to play out. So, in these circumstances, how do you go about your, when you spoke about sequencing and delivery, is there more space for you to remain patient on this bowling in 50 overs?

[Varun Chakaravarthy:]

Yeah, exactly as you mentioned. It is the patience game. You just need to wait it out and make - in such slow wickets you don't get as in a quick, the ball doesn't turn fast, it turns slow. So, you need to wait it out and it just happens, if it's your day it happens to you.

[Reporter:]

Varun, now you are going to play Australia in the semifinals, but if given a chance, would you prefer to play Australia or South Africa in the semifinals because South Africa are known as chokers and it is easy to beat them in big matches?

[Varun Chakaravarthy:]

Nothing like that and South Africa is a very good team. They are also on top of their game right now. And Australia is also a very good team. These four teams, these teams have qualified for the semis. So, we can't take anyone easy. Any team that comes, we have to give our best.

[Reporter:]

From being dubbed as a T20 bowler, everything changed after your performance against England in the five-match series, 14 wickets. Would you say that was a real clincher for the selectors to give you recognition? Because you replaced a batsman in this squad?

[Varun Chakaravarthy:]

I think so, yeah, because my T20 series went well. Probably they thought that the pitches in Dubai might be slower and I might be of some use for the team and that was the thinking behind it and yeah, it has worked this match.

[Reporter:]

You've had a bit of an unconventional route to get to where you are from the Indian landscape When you were a child growing up, did you dream of days like this? Tournament, five wickets, making a mockery of big batsmen?

[Varun Chakaravarthy:]

So, I started cricket very late, pretty late. When I was 26, I started cricket. Before that, my dreams were all being an architect and making movies. So, I've had different career paths. So, it has been different. After 26 is what I started dreaming about cricket. And all those things are happening. So yeah, it's been good right now.

[Reporter:]

You have been talking about your variations, how you set up differently - how many variations you possess approximately.

[Varun Chakaravarthy:]

Sir, basically the ball goes inside, outside and goes straight. So, you can keep it that way but there are minute changes that you can do with that also.

That minute changes depends on the pitch totally and as I told you, the one going away, one coming in and one that goes straight. So, you can have some certain variations with that. It depends on the batsman and depends on the time of how when you bowl as in how the ball is. If it's very old, you can try certain variations.

I doubted him cause of his physique and fitness but he proved me wrong

He is very good. Wristie. He gets some turn and bounce
Tall guy

Sucks he can’t bat at all.

But yea quality spinner that might be handy in most tracks actually
 
India had Ashwin, Jadeja, Chahal, and Kuldeep in 2021. So he had to stand out to replace them. So justifiably, he was dropped. But I never thought of this guy as an ODI option. He has proved us wrong. He is the quintessential example of how IPL plays a role in unearthing a talent that otherwise would have never been discovered.
 
To think that he did not play List A cricket until 2018 for Tamil Nadu is mind boggling. Till the age of 25 Varun was actually a architect who left his job to pursue cricket. Kind of explains why he isn't a top notch athlete. His fielding is a problem but a brilliant bowler. Someone who grew up the ranks so quickly that he played for India T20I side in just 3 years of making FC debut for his state and just 2 years after his T20 debut in IPL.

It is almost like AI created spinner lol. Never had any known childhood achievement at any level.
 
Varun has proved why he should be in the team. Good spinner and now has a fifer in just his 2nd ODI. Only drawback is his batting.
 
Anil Kumble, while speaking to a sports media outlet:

"I think Varun has been exceptional in the last 1-1.5 years, consistently winning matches for whichever team he has played for, whether it's Tamil Nadu or KKR or for India in T20Is. Now, getting an opportunity (in ODIs), because obviously India had already qualified.”
 
Former India opener Murali Vijay has heaped praise on Varun Chakravarthy ahead of the Champions Trophy 2025 final during an interview with a local TV channel:

"I think he is a world-class bowler. He is on the verge of becoming a world-class bowler in ODIs and T20s because it is a very rare commodity to bowl the carrom balls and flippers and having that kind of control, which is fantastic to watch."

"I feel it is a natural progress, like what I am talking now from the way I started... and now I've got that little bit of rhythm, so that's how life is."

"You got to go and give it yourself, (an) honest try and give your 100 per cent effort every time you walk into the field because wearing an India badge is something special for all of us. And, once you get it, you make use of it."

"You make use of those opportunities and make those opportunities (count) in an impactful way. So, that is what Varun has done in his short career. Bit I wish and hope that he has a long career in the Indian cricket team."

"He is coming from my state and I am very proud that the Indian team is being filled with lot of talent. They are ready to go and perform at that level, that is what is exciting for me to see as a fan, as a cricketer who played the game and a well-wisher of Indian cricket."

Good call. Also I wanted to tag you recently, as my assessment on Azam has also changed a little recently. While I still think he is a joke for tests and odis, I feel he can be a good T20 player. The boy can hit the long ball and is adequate as a keeper. Not the worst T20 option 👍
 
Chakravartha is a medicore spinner who was lucky to face substandard batsmen on turning pitches. Remember Riz and Babar dominating this average pie chucker in 2021

Varun vs Rizwan

11 balls 15 runs. just 1 six under heavy dew lol

Varun vs Babar

13 balls 17 runs 1 six 1 four.

That is not dominating. Too bad he didn't play this time against them lol It would have been hilarious.
