Micheal Vaughan praises Varun Chakravarthy’s brilliance
Impressed by Chakravarthy’s brilliance, Vaughan praised Indian spinner Chakravarthy, highlighting his skilful and deceptive craft. The former England batsman described the Tamil Nadu bowler as a “beautiful mystery spinner” who returns the ball to right-handers, occasionally holds one and consistently aims for the stumps. Although he is not a great ball-changer, his subtle variations make him difficult to deal with. Vaughan emphasized Chakravarthy’s consistency and intelligence, urging England to take a different approach to counter him.
“Chakravarthy is a lovely mystery off-spinner – he kind of brings the ball back to the right-handers. Once in a while, he’ll only hold one. He’s not a great shooter of the ball, but he does enough, which makes it very difficult – he always brings the stumps into play. He is very consistent and also very intelligent. England need to find a different method to try and pressure him,Vaughan said in an interview to Cricbuzz.
