Delhi: Team India won the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 title on the strength of the magnificent bowling of mystery spinner Varun Chakraborty. The right -handed spinner took a total of 9 wickets in the tournament and became the highest wicket -taking bowler for India. He finished second after New Zealand’s Matt Henry (10 wickets) in terms of total wickets. 33 -year -old Varun got a chance to play in just three matches, but took full advantage of this and performed tremendously. After winning the title, he recalled the difficult phase of his career, when he received threats not to return to India due to poor performance in the T20 World Cup 2021.
Varun craving for wicket in T20 World Cup 2021
Varun Chakraborty got a place in the Indian team for the T20 World Cup 2021 on the basis of excellent performance in the IPL. However, he could neither leave an impact against Pakistan nor make any special demonstrations against New Zealand. India got out of the group stage in that tournament, and Varun did not take a single wicket in three matches. After this, he was dropped from the team, but did not give up and returned to the Indian team on the basis of hard work, domestic cricket and IPL for three years.
Recalling his bad phase, Varun said that after the T20 World Cup 2021, he went into depression. He regretted that he could not do anything special for the team.
Talking on a YouTube channel, he said, “That was a very bad time for me. I had gone into depression, because I felt that I could not fulfill my responsibility. There was regret not to take a single wicket. Then I was not selected for three years. I think the way to return was harder than my debut. “
‘People reached my house, chased at the airport’
Varun told that after the World Cup, he got threatening calls, in which it was said that ‘don’t come to India, even if you try, you will not be able to come.’ Some people had reached his house and started looking for him.
He further said, “When I was returning from the airport, some people followed me by bike. I can understand that fans are emotional, but it was difficult for me at that time. “
