India's enigmatic spinner Varun Chakravarthy has put on a breathtaking display in the Champions Trophy by taking a five-wicket haul against New Zealand. His 5/42 in Dubai helped India to an eventual 44-run win, topping Group A. India's selection of Chakravarthy was a masterstroke as his unorthodox style of bowling left Kiwi batsmen in the dark. Captain Rohit Sharma appreciated Chakravarthy, stating, "He has got something different about him," which was the right reason for being included in the team. The performance provides India with a "good headache" before the semi-finals, against Australia. Chakravarthy's success has encouraged hopes of being retained in the team for the pivotal match.
