Delhi: Team India’s star spinner Varun Chakraborty openly gave his comparison openly with Ravichandran Ashwin. He said that he is not at the level where such a thing is. Ashwin, who is considered the great player of Indian cricket, recently announced his retirement from international cricket during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. His last international match was a pink ball test at Adelaide Oval, where he scored a total of 29 runs in both innings and took one wicket.
Chakravarti, who hails from Tamil Nadu, has now become the leading spinner of India in T20 format. Last year, he made a great comeback and is constantly doing well.
Statement on comparison with Ashwin
Chakraborty, 33, said that Ashwin’s stature is so big that it is not easy to replace him. He said, “It is a big deal to compare me with Ashwin. He has played all three formats. I am returning now. I am not at the level where they are compared to me. But, when someone makes a place in the Indian team, he wants to play for a long time. I am paying attention to my process and will try to reach me wherever you take me. I am not thinking of filling someone’s shoes. Ashwin has taken more than 500 Test wickets. I am far away from that level right now. “
Great performance in T20
Chakraborty, who returned to Team India after the T20 World Cup last year, has done well in T20 format. He has taken 20 wickets in the last 8 T20 matches, his average of 11.70. His best performance is 5/17. In the first T20 match against England, he also performed brilliantly and recorded 3/23 figures and played an important role in covering the England team for 132 runs.
