Varun Chakravarthy Gives Credit To GG & SKY For His Comeback, Speaks On “Mystery Spinner” Tag

Varun Chakravarthy’s comeback to the Indian men cricket team in October 2024 wasn’t just another return, it was redemption. After three long years away from international cricket, the spinner who once baffled batters with his unorthodox style found himself back in blue, hungrier and sharper than ever. His performances since then have turned him into an essential part of India’s T20 setup, especially during their triumphant Asia Cup and Champions Trophy campaigns.

When asked about his resurgence, Varun didn’t make it about himself. Instead, he credited Gautam Gambhir and the T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav for reviving his confidence and giving him a clear purpose. They told him that his job was simple, he needed to attack the stumps and take wickets.

He added that their faith gave him the courage to take on tougher challenges, whether it was bowling in the powerplay, at the death or in crucial middle overs.

It wasn’t an easy journey back. After being dropped following the 2021 T20 World Cup, Varun kept grinding away in the IPL and domestic circuits, delivering season after season of consistent spells. He admits that being recognised again after years of effort meant a lot.

The media has often labeled him a “mystery spinner” but Varun laughs it off. He insists he never called himself that, it’s just a tag that stuck. He says that what truly define him are precision and disguise. He further adds that he just bowls all his variations with the same grip and release, a skill that makes him unpredictable even without the “mystery” label.

Today, Varun Chakravarthy stands as a symbol of quiet resilience, a player who refused to let rejection define him.

His story reminds every aspiring cricketer that comebacks aren’t built on hype but on patience, purpose and the courage to keep spinning through the toughest overs of life.
