Team India mystery spinner Varun Chakaravarthy commented on his viral mug picture after the Asia Cup 2025 final. However, Team India beat Pakistan by five wickets in the match. Notably, India did not receive the trophy after the final. As they were denied to take the trophy, Varun Chakaravarthy posted a humorous post of himself on his bed with a mug to celebrate the win as well.

In a recent appearance on ‘Breakfast with Champions’, he said, “I knew that we were going to win. By the time we won the second match, I knew that if we meet them in the finals we are going to win. So I had planned everything. I had planned I will sleep and take a photo with the cup next to me. But after the match, there was nothing next to me. There was just a coffee cup, so I went ahead with it.”

However, Varun Chakaravarthy also opined on his nature as a person. He also expressed that he was an introvert and could not crack jokes like others – Arshdeep Singh or former assistant coach Abhishek Nayar, as well.

“I’ve always been an introvert. I’m not like Arshdeep or Nayar who are outspoken and can crack jokes. I have a slightly dark humor. After practice I go to my room, to stay away from cricket I keep writing. I love writing. It brings out what’s within me outside and helps me visualize. By the end I totally forget that I was a cricketer and I have a match to play the next day. If you meet me anywhere else, in any time of the day, you will find a ball with me. I always carry it. I dont even realize that I have carried it to a place. I did that in my reception as well. In my own wedding reception. I ended up taking the ball to the stage and then gave it to my brother to take it away. If that skin of the ball does not touch my hand I start getting withdrawal symptoms like something is missing,” Varun Chakaravarthy concluded.
