“I just want to stick to the process; that’s what I have been doing in the IPL,” said Varun Chakravarthy.
During his maiden T20I match back in the Indian team after three years away, Varun Chakravarthy expressed his emotions after bowling a brilliant stint. The match occurred on Sunday, October 6 at the New Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium in Gwalior.
Bangladesh was bowled out for 127 in the first innings thanks to three wickets taken by Chakravarthy, who played in his first match for India since 2021. He also gave up 31 runs in his four overs. India, in response, dominated the chase and easily won with seven wickets and 8.1 overs remaining.
Chakravarthy stated that it was an emotional time for him to play for India again after three years after the team’s resounding victory. According to the mystery spinner, the return “feels like a rebirth”.
For me, it was emotional after three long years. It is pleasant to return to the Blues. It is akin to a fresh start. In a post-match interview with Jio Cinema, Chakravarthy stated, “I just want to stick to the process; that’s what I have been following in the IPL as well.”
The 33-year-old cricket player stated that he is more concerned with performing well now than he is with potential future outcomes.
I don’t want to venture farther than that. All I want is to remain in this moment. I participated in a few competitions after the IPL, including the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL). According to Chakravarthy, it’s a really good competition with a high bar.
I had great success working with Ashwin bhai during TNPL: Chakravarti
In the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2024, Chakravarthy captained the Dindigul Dragons under the captaincy of Ravichandran Ashwin. With 12 wickets at 19.83 in 10 matches, Chakravarthy had a significant impact as the Dragons went on to win the title. Bowling with Ashwin, according to Chakravarthy, improved his bowling.
I had a great time working with Ashwin bhai during TNPL. I was more confident in this situation because we also won the championship. According to Chakravarthy, it was an excellent preparation for this series.
According to Chakravarthy, he persisted during his absence from the national squad and eventually succeeded in returning. The Bidar native did, however, clarify that his main goal was to continue to be considered for a berth in the Indian squad.
“People tend to write you off pretty readily once you’re not on the Indian side. You must continue to pound on doors while maintaining the highest standard. Luckily, that did occur this time. With any luck, I can keep up the fantastic work, Chakravarthy stated.
