ICC Men’s T20 World Cup
New Delhi, March 7: Mystery spinner Varun Chakaravarthy has paid the price for bowling “too full or too short” in the last two matches of the T20 World Cup, believes former India spinner Piyush Chawla.
Chakaravarthy returned figures of 1/40 and 1/64 against the West Indies and England in the last two games. It remains to be seen if India opt to replace him with left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav for the final against New Zealand in Ahmedabad on Sunday.
“I feel sometimes when you get desperate or when you try to do too many things, you end up bowling too full or too short, and that’s exactly what’s happening with Varun,” Chawla told JioStar.“His strength is to bowl that hard length, not the one that fast bowlers bowl, but for a spinner, the good length where the bounce is around knee-high.” (PTI)
