Harbhajan Singh Praises Varun Chakravarthy Amid T20 World Cup Economy Rate Concerns

Varun Chakravarthy, India's leading T20 spinner and joint-highest wicket-taker at the 2026 T20 World Cup, faced scrutiny for his elevated economy rate of 9.25 during the tournament, higher than his career average of 7.55. Former India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh praised Chakravarthy as a champion bowler, recalling his early potential spotted in 2018 at Chennai Super Kings nets, where he recommended his signing—a suggestion CSK did not act on. Despite challenges, Chakravarthy remains a key player for Kolkata Knight Riders and India, aiming to refine his accuracy ahead of future events.
