Coming into this ICC World Cup, India's best has not been performing to the maximum of their merits. One of the classic examples is the no. 1 bowler from India in recent times, Varun Chakravarthy. The spinner has had a good tournament until the Super-8s, but ever since has failed to produce an impact.
Going further ahead in the competition, India would need their best spinner to fire. West Indies batters have been very dominant against spinners. They thrashed Keshav Maharaj, Sikander Raza and Graeme Creamer in the last two games, and Chakravarthy would have to return to his very best against an opposition largely comprised of right-handers.
“One concern is Varun Chakaravarthy. I had mentioned in commentary as well that about 63 percent of his deliveries were on the shorter side. Varun is not typically the kind of spinner who bowls at a strict four-metre length; his length is comparatively a bit shorter.
"If he is consciously practicing bowling that short, it could create complications" - Pathan said from Chennai
Irfan Pathan further stressed on the fact that this observation was made by him not only in the match but also in the nets in Chennai. Hence, he pointed out that if Varun Chakravarthy intentionally bowls short, this would be a major concern for India.
"There should not be unnecessary complications. Varun Chakaravarthy is still our number one bowler. Yes, the last two matches have not been great, and that is a concern," he added.
"If he comes around the wicket, especially to left-handers, he should try to get a bit closer to the stumps. Just one or two small tweaks are enough," said Pathan, asking Varun Chakravarthy to not overcomplicated things.
"Varun Chakravarthy can also make a comeback in Kolkata," Pathan backs Indian spinner
Chakravarthy plays for the Kolkata Knight Riders and plays most of his off-season cricket here; however, the Chidambaram was also his home ground, where he failed to trigger. He predicted:
