Delhi: Former Indian team opener Murali Vijay has fiercely appreciated the mysterious spinner Varun Chakraborty, who is performing brilliantly in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Vijay says that Chakraborty is moving towards becoming a world class bowler due to his carrom ball and excellent control over Flippar.
Chakraborty has played two matches in the tournament so far, in which he has taken a total of 7 wickets. India will take on New Zealand in the final on Sunday, where Varun’s role will be important.
Talking to PTI during an event in Mumbai, Vijay said, “I think Varun Chakraborty is a world -class bowler. They have the ability to achieve a big place in ODIs and T20s, because very few bowlers put carrom balls and flippers with such accuracy. It seems great to see them bowling. “
Recently, India’s T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav had said that Chakravarti has become mentally stronger and keeps himself calm under any circumstances. Vijay believes that this change comes from continuous playing in international cricket.
Murali further said, “This is natural progress, like when I am talking now, my rhythm has become better than before.” Life moves forward like this. Playing for the Indian team is special for every player and when this opportunity is received, everyone tries to leave their mark. Varun has done this in his small career so far. Hopefully he will play with the Indian team for a long time. My best wishes are with him. “
