Though Varun Chakravarthy was exceptional with mystery spin, bamboozling Namibia’s batters with his sharp turn and clever variations, his limited spell throughout India’s bowling attack. Despite being the only spin specialist in the playing XI, Chakravarthy bowled just two overs out of his four-over spell.

However, in just two overs, Chakravarthy derailed Namibia’s run chase, especially a double-wicket over in the 10th over of the second innings. This could be a tactical reason, as Namibia were almost done and dusted after collapsing from 86/2 to 111/7, losing 5 wickets for just 25 runs. Moreover, with the Pakistan clash coming up next, Team India may opt to limit Varun Chakravarthy’s overs to avoid giving opponents a chance to study his variations and bowling strategies in detail.
