IPL 2025: Varun Chakravarthy said during a press conference that he started working on his new variation just before the Champions Trophy, aiming to add something fresh to his arsenal. He explained that since he is now bowling in the powerplay with the newer ball that can swing, he thought of developing a delivery or two that could move in and out.

00:00So when we have to win all the matches it literally becomes knockout so we are of the mindset that we still have six knockout games and three here and three as in five knockout games then the qualifier then the finals so that's our mindset so every game is a knockout from here so you have to bring our A game and good that we had this win from that we'll be able to get a good momentum into the next game.
00:30If that was a low point how much does a win like this a close game we win by one run it's pretty much an all round effort you batted well you scored well you were excellent in the field how much does this boost the team going into what you are saying is like five knockout games.
00:45Yeah exactly because as I told earlier such wins will give us a momentum and give us the self belief that we can pull off tight matches and this is exactly what we needed this time so from here I am hopeful that we can pull off the next three matches we have done it before so no excuses from us.
01:05Sir if you ask me this match every after the 10th over the momentum change towards their team then after the 16th over it came little towards us then in the last over in the first five balls it went towards them so I would
01:35I would say there were many turning points but good that we were able to pull it off.
01:38Sir I didn't know.
01:48Sir I didn't know.
01:52Just to get him out I can't let him let my emotions get in my way and he definitely was batting very well and he is a star player for them.
02:02And the way he is this must have been is one of the most best knocks I have ever seen so but still we had to get him out and that was running in my mind nothing else.
02:09No more questions.
02:10No more questions.
02:11No more questions.
02:12No more questions.
02:13No more questions.
02:14No more questions.
02:15No more questions.
02:16Varun any thoughts on Ryukoo Singh's field game because he looked to be a slightly injured in trying to save a 4 at the end but he still kept his pool and I think in a game that you won by Wanran there were a couple of competing efforts that he made which was quite crucial.
02:31Any thoughts on that?
02:32Yeah he is a very quick fielder and he can cover ground not like other people.
02:38He can really quick a lot of ground in small time and hopefully he will be well nothing serious.
02:44Yeah.
02:45Yeah.
02:46I know this is really from MLB.
02:49Did you feel that you got the perfect wicket from this match?
02:54Perfect wicket?
02:55Yeah.
02:56See in Eden how would I tell you today was again a close match over 200 runs so you can't ask you can't complain this is the wicket which we are going to get and so we are prepared to play on any wicket and yeah.
03:15Can you what grip from the pitch?
03:17Not much the pitch definitely got better in the second innings and just one or two balls turned for me but other than that not much help I would say but still it was about the angles how you can use.
03:30See in Eden how even if you give a ranked turner the minimum score is going to be 200 so that's how we are preparing yeah.
03:38Yeah.
03:39As far as I have spoken to him interacted with him he still wants to be the best.
04:05play another 2-3 cycles of IPL and which is easily 6 more years and he looks fine and fit it doesn't matter how old you are if you are able to contribute to the team that's all that's enough in a franchisee cricket they are not going to question anything else yeah.
04:24What about this next station cricket for here. Since you obviously must be voting to Russell at the next here and there as well you will be able to answer this.
04:33When Russell came of course beyond how he was promoted but he had to face the spin goal he had first.
04:38He shot a goal really well and I think the plan has had a lot of strike but he has earned.
04:43So some people are doubtful of his spin game and really think that he is a pace hitter.
04:48What is your thought process about how he takes spin today?
04:52Because he didn't connect a lot but at least he didn't get out today.
04:55I feel it was his choice. He made that choice not to attack the spinners but that's not the truth as in he can't hit spin.
05:04He can hammer spin. We have seen it before and even in the nets when we practice he can hammer that
05:09but he took a different approach today that was very smart on him and congrats to him.
05:14Last question.
05:15I have another question. You board a senior rugby today and being across Cheshawr in the pathway.
05:21Can you tell us about the development of that particular game and when you started working on it?
05:28Yeah I have been working, I started working on it just before the Champions Trophy so that I can bring something new
05:35because I ended up bowling the power play so the ball is more newer and can swing.
05:41So I just thought I can bowl one or two balls that can swing in and out.
05:45So yeah that was the thought behind it.
