His spell made sure that Bangladesh was bowled out for 127 runs, which in turn gave India a convincing win. Chakaravarthy received a lot of accolades after the game.
Varun Chakravarthy gave appreciation to the Indian domestic circuit for his seamless return to the Indian team during the post-match news conference.
He emphasized the caliber of the Indian domestic circuit and the players’ constant preparation for the greatest caliber of competition.
“The level of rivalry within the domestic sphere is enormous, even though individuals within the sphere don’t discuss it much. At the press conference held after the game, Chakravarthy stated, “We play every team, including Syed Mushtaq Ali and Vijay Hazare, and there are many, many tournaments that keep happening. The standard of Syed Mushtaq Ali and VIjay Hazare is very high.”
“People like Nitish and Mayank are ready for the IPL directly and they are ready for the internationals as well, so definitely, the credit goes to the domestic set-up,” Chakravarthy remarked. “Once you keep playing such leagues.”
