T20 WC: Chakravarthy Not Vulnerable, Don’t See India Getting Kuldeep Ahead Of Him, Says Doull
T20 World Cup: Former New Zealand cricketer Simon Doull feels India have no reason to leave out Varun Chakravarthy in favour of Kuldeep Yadav for the Men’s T20 World Cup final to be played in Ahmedabad on Sunday, adding that the crafty wrist-spinner is not yet vulnerable despite being expensive since the Super Eights stage.
Chakravarthy, the top-ranked T20I bowler, was among India’s standout bowlers in the group stage, taking nine wickets in four matches at an economy rate of 5.2. But since the Super Eight phase, his returns have been worrying, picking just four wickets in as many games, and his economy rate has ballooned to 11.6.
In the semifinal against England at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, Chakravarthy, despite being the joint leading wicket-taker in the tournament, had figures of 1-64 – his most expensive T20I spell and the joint second-costliest in tournament history. Add to it, eight of Chakravarthy’s 11 most expensive T20I spells have come since December 2025.
