Veteran commentator Aakash Chopra said Varun Chakaravarthy might be back in India’s T20I set up as the next T20 World Cup will be played at home. He also applauded the mystery spinner’s performance in the second T20I between India and Bangladesh in Delhi on Wednesday, October 9 as well.

In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra said, “Varun Chakaravarthy, is he back, big question, because he is making a comeback after three years. In the first match, he probably got one or two wickets on balls that weren’t wicket-taking, which is good. He picked up three wickets. In the second match, he actually bowled better than the first match. He bowled with more confidence and greater consistency. He continuously bowled within the three stumps. The signs thus far are very good. Why do you want to play Varun Chakaravarthy? After two years, the next World Cup will be in India only.”

In the same video, Aakash Chopra also stated that Yuzvendra Chahal, just like Varun Chakaravarthy, should also be in the radar as well.

“Ideally, Yuzi Chahal should have still been in the scheme. If Varun Chakaravarthy can be at 33, why not Yuzi Chahal? You selected him for the World Cup but didn’t play him, and he hasn’t done anything wrong. He gives outstanding IPLs one season after another. However, you don’t give him chances, but that may be to do with something I don’t know about,” he said.

“However, if you are playing Varun Chakaravarthy and he is doing well, the signs we have got so far, of course, take it with a pinch of salt as Bangladesh are batting like that, so the bowling also starts looking better, but that’s not Varun’s fault, he has done whatever was in his control. He is consistently bowling at the right spots and using his variations well, and more importantly, he has got the control,” Aakash Chopra concluded.
