The T20 World Cup is a couple of months away but the speculations about the star performers in the marquee event have already begun.
While Team India is already in the league of favourites, wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik feels mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy could be one of the players to watch out for.
Chakravarthy rose to fame after a promising display of bowling in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020. He played 13 matches for his franchise Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and picked up 17 wickets.
His heroics in the tournament earned him a maiden India call-up for the Australia tour but he missed the flight due to an injury.
He was also denied a chance in the home series against England due to fitness issues. However, he made the cut in the recently concluded T20I series against Sri Lanka. Karthik, who has observed Varun from close quarters in the KKR camp and state cricket, has said the spinner could be the X-factor for the men-in-blue because of the variations in his bowling.
Speaking with former West Indies skipper Daren Sammy on ICC’s official website, the Indian cricketer opined that Varun will be the best bowler at the mega event.
