Suryakumar Yadav On Varun Chakravarthy: Varun Chakraborty has become the Indian batsman to bowl the most expensive spell in the history of T20 World Cup. He conceded 64 runs in 4 overs in the semi-final match against England played at Wankhede Stadium. Now the question is arising whether after such an expensive spell, will Chakraborty be kept in the playing 11 or will another spinner be brought in his place? Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav responded to this in the press conference before the match.
Let us tell you that apart from Varun Chakraborty, India’s second option in the playing 11 is Chinaman spinner Kuldeep Yadav. Kuldeep has played one match against Pakistan in this World Cup, in which he took 1 wicket. But before considering Kuldeep, let us know what Captain Surya said on Varun Chakraborty.
What did Suryakumar Yadav say on Varun Chakraborty?
Speaking in the press conference held before the final, Varun Chakraborty said, “Varun’s form is not a matter of concern. We are not worried. This is a team sport. We are focusing on winning the game. We do not think too much about that (his performance). We won the semi-finals. He is the No. 1 bowler in the world, he knows how to make the team win. We will see the change tomorrow.”
