Rohit Sharma breaks silence on the involvement of Varuna Chakravarthy
During a press conference in front of the Indian semifinals against Australia, Rohit Sharma was asked about the sudden involvement of Varuna Chakravarthy in the composition. Rohit explained that the management of the team and the captain himself thought about including Varun, excluding the Yashasvi Jaiswal caliber dough.
The Indian skipper has discovered that if India needs an additional dough, Jaiswal could be quickly switched on because it is already in the reserves. Rohit welcomed Varun’s capabilities and knew he could play even without injury.
“We felt special with Varun (Chakravarthy) that we had to sacrifice the bat, which we thought was only five games in this tournament. And it is very unlikely that this dough will play at any stage unless there is injury,” Rohit said.
“And you don’t make a team to think about the worst case, which is to get hurt. If someone is injured, you can always call them. But with Varun we knew there was a chance to play without any injury injury. I know there are four Spinners and all that, but today we played four Spinners,” he explained.
The presence of Rishabh Panto allowed India to go to Varun Chakravarthy – Rohit Sharma
Further elaborating on the topic, Rohit Sharma spoke about the worse areas in Dubai because a lot of matches played late here. He also revealed that Rishabh Pant was already on the team as a spare dough, which convinced that the team management had dropped Jaiswal and turned on Chakravarthy.
“So, watching the surface here, hearing what happened in Dubai in the last two months. There are a lot of crickets playing. So, somehow we knew the surfaces would be slow. We watched the Ilt20, who was playing here. And we thought slower bowlers would be much more useful,” Rohit remarked.
“And then we have a dough sitting in excavation anyway. And if we need a dough, Rishabh (pants) is there for us. So, we thought of an additional Spin option, there was always a chance that we could play those guys. So that was pretty much thinking behind it,” he added.
Varun Chakravarthy performs
Varun Chakravarthy ended with top 5-42 figures in 10 accessories in the final group stage of the match against New Zealand in Dubai. Mystery Spinner proved to be a difference between the two teams and helped India win the match.
He entered the XI toy after the team administration decided to rest Harshit wounds. However, it will be difficult to fall after such an impressive performance and will probably appear in the semifinals against Australia.
