Varun Chakaravarthy Makes Long-Awaited Comeback To National Side
The Kolkata Knight Riders spinner makes his much-awaited return to the national set-up after a period of 3 years, as his last appearance in an Indian shirt came way back at the T20I World Cup 2021 UAE, where he played 3 matches and endured a horrible tournament by failing to scalp even a single wicket.
The Gautam Gambhir Era now sees him make his return on the back of a successful IPL 2024, where he took 21 wickets in 14 innings, at an economy rate of 8.04, as Kolkata Knight Riders ended their 10-year wait for the title by dominating the entire tournament.
The inclusion of the right-arm spinner gives a value-addition to the squad, as the 33-year-old has ice running in his veins whenever it comes to bowling the death overs, and in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav can surely trust Varun Chakaravarthy.
