Indian captain Rohit Sharma said that Varun Chakravarthy’s fantastic performance against New Zealand has made the idea of using four spinners in the Semi-finals. However, he didn’t say for sure if India would follow this plan in the Champions Trophy semifinal against Australia. India’s spinners Varun Chakravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, and Axar Patel played a key role, taking nine wickets together to beat the Newzland.

"We have to really think about how we can fit four spinners into the team if we decide to go with that plan," ."We know the conditions well and understand what works and what doesn’t."Rohit Sharma said in his pre-match press conference after winning with Newzland.

"So, we’ll take our time to figure out the right combination, but it’s tempting to take 4 spinners." Varun Chakravarthy, who came in for the rested Harshit Rana against Newzland, was brilliant, picking up 5/42. Rohit said that the Varun is definitely on the team’s mind. "He showed what he can do, and now it’s up to us to see how we can balance the team. He got his chance and made the most of it," Rohit said. 

"He has a unique style, and when he gets it right, he can destroy batting lineups and take five-wicket hauls. So, it’s a great option to consider, even though it’s a tough decision. We’ll also look at Australia’s batting and decide what kind of bowling attack will work best against them," he added.

"We told him right from the start of the ODI series against England that he would bat at No. 5 no matter what. The way he has improved with the bat over the past year has been fantastic, and that’s why we felt he could be a key player in the middle order," Rohit said. He loves to take on the bowlers and play attacking shots in any situation. Sometimes, when the team is in trouble, taking a positive approach is the best way to come back to the game.
