Varun Chakravarthy was India라이브 바카라 unexpected spin card against New Zealand, delivering more than expected. His impact has now sparked a major selection headache ahead of the knockouts for Rohit Sharma and selectors. (More Cricket News)
The right-arm leg-spinner wasn’t necessarily in the spotlight before the game, but his impact has now thrown a curveball at India라이브 바카라 plans.
At 33, Chakravarthy was only playing his second ODI, yet he made an instant impact with a stunning maiden five-wicket haul, finishing with 5/42 from his 10 overs.
He replaced Harshit Rana as India라이브 바카라 only change from the side that defeated Pakistan, adding another spin option on a Dubai pitch that has consistently favored slow bowlers throughout the tournament.
Now, leaving him out of India라이브 바카라 XI for the knockout semi-final against Australia at the same venue won’t be easy.
“We just wanted to see what (Chakravarthy) can offer,” Rohit Sharma said after the match.
“He라이브 바카라 got something different, no doubt about it. Varun was class today. When he gets it right, he라이브 바카라 very difficult to read.
“We’ll have to think about what we want to do in the next game (against Australia). Obviously, it라이브 바카라 a good headache to have.”
Chakravarthy spent the first two matches on the sidelines, waiting for his chance. But when he finally got his opportunity against New Zealand, he made an instant impact, emerging as the 'game changer player'.
With Chakravarthy impressing on his return, India라이브 바카라 team management now faces a tricky selection decision. The established spin trio of Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, and Axar Patel has performed consistently, but Chakravarthy라이브 바카라 unpredictability gives India an extra edge.
Will they load up on spin and play four spinners against Australia, given the conditions in Dubai? Or will they stick to their balanced approach?
The final choice will depend on the pitch and match-ups, but India라이브 바카라 bowling attack looks well-equipped and confident heading into the semi-finals.
