Varun Chakaravarthy’s selection proved inspired as the mystery spinner delivered a sensational maiden five-wicket haul, steering India to a 44-run victory over New Zealand in a Champions Trophy Group A encounter. 1 With both teams already secured a semi-final berth, the match was primarily a battle for group dominance, but Chakaravarthy’s performance transformed it into a personal triumph.
However, for Sachin, there was one other performance that mattered. In his social media post on Sunday night, the former India opener did not forget to compliment Shreyas Iyer’s valiant knock of 79, which saw India bounce back from a top-order collapse, en route to posting the target of 250.
Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar gives shoutout to two special contributions in India’s convincing Champions Trophy win over New Zealand.
His mesmerizing variations left the New Zealand batting lineup bewildered, earning him widespread acclaim. Even cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar expressed his awe, publicly praising Chakaravarthy’s skill and execution. The spinner’s ability to deceive and dismantle the opposition was a spectacle to behold.
While Chakaravarthy’s brilliance stole the spotlight, another noteworthy performance unfolded, though it didn’t capture Tendulkar’s specific attention. This other performance, although not as celebrated, played a crucial role in India’s victory. While the limelight shone brightly on Chakaravarthy’s spin wizardry, the contribution of the other player, though unmentioned by Tendulkar, was vital in the overall team effort. The details of that performance may be lost in the Chakaravarthy hype, but it was important nonetheless.
