New Zealand scored 251-7 after 50 overs in the first innings of the Champions Trophy final. The Kiwi hitters put in a commendable effort, but the Indian spinner’s contribution was just as impressive, if not more so. Varun Chakravarthy of India was the top batsman of the day, finishing with figures of 2 for 45 in his ten overs.
He injured his foot during the match while attempting to stop a delivery that was slammed right back at him, for those who are unfamiliar with the situation. The cricket player appeared to be in pain; after experiencing some soreness in his right foot, he was observed limping for a while. Still, he continued to complete his spell.
Speaking at the official mid-innings presentation, he discussed the game and the Dubai wicket’s response in the first innings of the grand decider, as well as his foot issue.
It was a better wicket than the previous one. Little was turning. Sticking it within the stump line and waiting for the batsman to make a mistake was my only option. I enjoy bowling during the powerplay and death; it’s more difficult and provides me with more chances to take wickets. I enjoy conversing with Kuldeep, as well as Axar (Patel) and Jaddu bhai. I want to form some pleasant relationships because I am relatively fresh to this setting.
It is a little sore on the right foot. If we bat well at first, it is a score that can be achieved,” Varun Chakaravarthy stated.
Amid reports of Dhanashree and Yuzvendra Chahal’s separation, he was photographed with an unknown woman. Who is she?
India is headed for its second Champions Trophy victory.
With opener Rohit Sharma currently putting up the most runs and Shubman Gill actively rotating the strike at the other end, the Indian innings has gotten off to a strong start while chasing. Currently, the score after 18 overs stands at 103-0.
