Former India cricketer Shikhar Dhawan who holds the title ‘Mr ICC’ after excellent ICC tournament showings endorsed Varun Chakaravarthy’s inclusion in India’s squad as a brilliant tactical move. Team management received widespread honour from Dhawan who commended them for trusting Varun Chakaravarthy in the starting lineup. Through his endorsement during the Champions Trophy 2025 final preparations Dhawan emphasises how India picked Varun Chakaravarthy because of his ability to make an impact and the smart team selection.

Varun Chakaravarthy’s Redemption In Champions Trophy 2025

When Varun Chakaravarthy joined India’s squad for the tournament many observers feared for the team due to his weak show at Dubai in 2021. Outstanding performances by Varun Chakaravarthy have disproved his critics as he established his value in the tournament. Through his deceptive off-spin Varun Chakaravarthy has successfully puzzled cricket batters and received proper recognition for his ability. His exceptional comeback has transformed a doubtful decision into one of India’s best choices allowing the team to dominate matches.

Shikhar Dhawan Applauds India’s Game-Changing Decision

Team India selected Varun Chakaravarthy according to Dhawan who described this move as an outstanding tactical decision. The addition of a second spinner through Varun Chakaravarthy earned my sincere approval from the opposition players. The captain and coaching staff made a brilliant decision to bring in Varun Chakaravarthy since it proved to be a pivotal strategic move according to Dhawan. The specialist slow-rotator proved vital for India because he deepened their balance on pitches that turned repeatedly according to Dhawan. The ball escapes Varun’s hand so perfectly that the Indians now possess a true edge. He continued by explaining that was the reason why the team began to assert dominance more often.
