Varun Chakravarthy revealed that he was very nervous while bowling his first spell during the Champions Trophy clash against New Zealand on Sunday. The Tamil Nadu spinner had a nightmare of a game in the 2022 T20 World Cup in Dubai, which also happened to be his last match at the venue before the IND vs NZ clash. India’s mystery spinner ran through the Kiwis, finishing with brilliant figures of 5/42, powering India to a 44-run win.

He admitted that while he was trying to keep that in check, seniors including Hardik Pandya, Virat Kohli and skipper Rohit Sharma were constantly advising him to calm down.
The first spell of mine, I was a little nervous because the previous things, the emotions, and all were playing whatever happened in the last three years before in this ground (Dubai). Where little bit it was playing with me and I was trying to keep it down, control it. But Virat bhai, Rohit and even Hardik, they were telling ‘calm down’, ‘calm down’. They were coming and talking to me. That really helped,” Chakravarthy said.
