Varun Chakravarthy, who is currently dominating England’s batters, has now been included in India’s Champions Trophy squad. Known as the mystery spinner, he has consistently produced results. In the last IPL, his spin bowling, packed with many variations, has taken out many big stars. As a result, he has become a regular in the T20I format. Recently, he also received his ODI cap. Interestingly, at 33 years and 184 days, Chakravarthy became India’s second-oldest ODI debutant after wicketkeeper Farokh Engineer, who debuted at 36 years in 1974. All eyes are now on his performance, especially with India going in with a spin-heavy attack at the Champions Trophy. His role will be crucial on the Dubai wicket. But do you know how many ICC tournaments Chakravarthy has played for India? Surely never is not the answer, as he has played in an ICC tournament.
How many ICC events has Varun Chakravarthy played?
That’s correct, Varun Chakravarthy played for India in an ICC tournament when he was named in India’s squad for the 2021 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. Although his performance was underwhelming, Chakravarthy played in three matches: first against Pakistan, then New Zealand, and finally Scotland. However, he failed to clinch any wickets.
But slowly and steadily, his meteoric rise is no secret to anyone. Many believe that his bowling in Dubai could help India, especially considering the slow nature of the Dubai wickets.
