Aakash Chopra Backs Kuldeep As India’s Premier Spinner In Champions Trophy

By IANS News February 12, 2025 • 12:58 PM View: 374

Spin To Win: Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra has urged the Indian team management to ensure that Kuldeep Yadav remains a key figure in India's bowling attack during the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025.

Chopra's remarks came after India finalised their 15-member squad for the tournament, with Tamil Nadu spinner Varun Chakravarthy replacing Yashasvi Jaiswal in the squad.

With all of India’s matches set to be played in Dubai, the addition of Varun means that the team will carry five spinners into the tournament.
