I am interested in the trial cricket, but … – Varun Chakravarthy
Speaking in a podcast with Gobinath, Varun Chakravarthy admitted that he is interested in Cricket Test. Varun revealed that Test Cricket demands bowling players to deliver 20-30 overs per day, but can only administer 10-15 overs maximum due to their style.
“I do it (I have an interest in Test Cricket), but my bowling style does not adapt to Crickt Test,” while talking in a podcast with Gobinath on his YouTube channel, Varun said.
“Mine is almost like an average rhythm. In Crickt Test, you have to continually play 20-30 overs. I can’t do that in my bowling alley. Since the quick bowl, the maximum that I can bowl is 10-15 overs, which is not suitable for the red ball. I’m focusing on 20 overs and 50 over White Ball Cricket for now, ”he added.
You do not see many rapid bowling players from Tamil Nadu – Varun Chakravarthy
Varun Chakravarthy declared that he does not regret changing the rhythm from bowling to turn. Cricket Tamil Nadu player started as a wicktkeeper before making rapid bowling during the university. However, an injury forced him to turn, which finally helped him reach the Indian team.
Varun mentioned that Tamil Nadu launches in favor of the spinners about the pacemaker. He said the state pacemakers are rare, but their change to turn was beneficial. He also pointed out that even Ravichandran Ashwin made a similar transition.
“No. That’s why I am here. I would have been caught there if I had launched the rhythm. There are so many pacemakers. In addition, it does not swing in Tamil Nadu’s Wickets. They are friendly WICKETS with the turn. So you can’t see many rapid bowling players from Tamil Nadu,” Varun said.
“It’s very rare. There is Balaji and Natarajan, but there are many pacemaker in other states. I am happy to have left quick bowling. Even (Ravichandran) Ashwin became a roulette after leaving quick bowls. So I’m happy,” he concluded.
