Varun Chakravarthy's Brief Comeback Ends with New Injury SetbackPreviousNext

Varun Chakravarthy made a brief return to international cricket with a strong bowling performance against Afghanistan, conceding just 16 runs in four overs. Despite his promising comeback after a lengthy injury layoff, he was soon ruled out again due to injury, raising concerns about his fitness and workload management. At 35, Varun remains a key T20 player for India, though his future in international cricket is uncertain amid recurring injuries and inconsistent form.
