Delhi: Former India -off -spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has praised Varun Chakraborty, who performed brilliantly against New Zealand in the Champions Trophy 2025. Ashwin wants captain Rohit Sharma Chakraborty against Australia in the semi -finals and give him a chance to bowl with a new ball.
Suggestion to give a new ball to Chakraborty
Ashwin said on his YouTube channel ‘Ash Ki Baat’, ‘Give the new ball to Varun and ask him to bowl the Travis Head over the stump. The head shows all three stumps and then cleaning his leg and hit the ball over the field. Varun Chakraborty can give India an edge with the new ball. This will be an exciting match. I would be very surprised if the Travis head would be on the back foot against Varun. He would like to be aggressive and it would be a high -risk option. Either he will give Australia a good start or India will dismiss them cheaply. The Australian team has more right -handed batsmen and for this we have Ravindra Jadeja and Akshar Patel.
Will have to be cautious with Johnson
Ashwin also gave Rohit Sharma an advice related to the toss. He said, “If India wins the toss, then bowl first and challenge Australia to set the score. If we take the wicket of Travis Head quickly, we will hold the match. If India bat first, it will score a big, provided that the Spencer Johnson does not blow us in the beginning with his fast bowling. “
Ashwin believes that India’s spin bowlers can have a big impact in the match, but Australia will play without losing anything under pressure.
