‘Not about wickets’: Varun Chakaravarthy explains philosophy after fine comeback

‘Not about wickets’: Varun Chakaravarthy explains philosophy after fine comeback

Varun Chakaravarthy's remarkable performance in Afghanistan's first T20I against India, where he took a fine 4-16-1 in seven overs, has been noted. However, his success in England's two matches has been equally impressive, despite his wicket tally of just one. Chakaravarthy's philosophy centers around the process rather than the outcome.

He emphasized that he cannot rely on results, as they elicit emotional reactions. Instead, he focuses on the process of bowling, aiming to pitch the ball in the right place, irrespective of whether it results in a wicket or a boundary. He believes that what happens after the ball pitches is not under his control, and he remains focused on his role.

Chakaravarthy's impressive performance in England, marked by his low error count and a second-most economical four-over spell, is a testament to his methodical approach to the game.
