According to Sidhu, Varun Chakravarthy reminds him of India’s legendary spinner, Anil Kumble. Sidhu sees similarities in tier bowling action as well as the character of their deliveries.
“Varun reminds me of Anil Kumble, as his ball doesn’t come slowly off the surface. It nips through, and the batter doesn’t get time to adjust. Varun is tall like Kumble and has a similar bowling action. Anil used to hit the wicket hard, and the ball got a lot of bounce because of his action and the KKR spinner is pretty similar.
Sidhu sees Varun as India’s future investment. Varun’s tricky bowling often doesn’t give much room for the batters to adjust, according to Sidhu.
‘Varun is not easy to face as he hurries up the batters, and they are often late against him. He is the future investment and should be brought back into the side,” Sidhu said.
Powered by Chakravarthy’s spectacular bowling, KKR thumped DC for 7 wickets. Varun became the player of the match by clinching 3 crucial wickets by just leaving 16 runs.
What’s Next for Varun Chakravarthy?
Chakravarthy will fly with Kolkata Knight Riders to Mumbai to face the struggling home team at the Wankhede Stadium on May 3.
