"varun-chakravarthy"

Varun Chakravarthy said India would aim to win their remaining two T20Is against New Zealand after taking an unassailable 3-0 lead. The spinner also praised India's batters, discussed his fitness and highlighted the need to keep improving amid competition.

On the overall KKR squad building up for the title defence, Varun said that the team looked good and it’s about cracking the code and having the best playing eleven performing consistently

Flamboyant opener Phil Salt, the unsung hero of KKR campaigns over the years Nitish Rana and pace spearhead Mitchell Starc, whose sensational spell in the last year’s final left the explosive Sunrisers Hyderabad in shambles, will be missed for sure.

“Varun has made India a more balanced side, especially on the slow and turning pitches. It’s very hard to pick the ball from Varun’s hand and that has given India a real edge, that’s why they started dominating more,” says Dhawan.

There is a fair chance that Chakravarthy might just replace one of the four specialist spinners in the Champions Trophy squad
