“You can’t bowl spin”: Varun Chakravarthy reveals India’s biggest batting strength

India beat Afghanistan by seven wickets in the first T20I at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, taking a 1-0 lead in the series. Chasing a target set by Afghanistan, India wrapped up the match with seven wickets to spare, demonstrating the depth of their batting lineup and the ability of multiple players to contribute under pressure. After the game, Varun Chakravarthy addressed the media at the post-match press conference and spoke about India’s batting strength. Highlighting the team’s versatility, he invoked the line 'you can’t bowl spin' to illustrate how Indian batsmen can counter spin and pace alike, enabling them to chase and win without relying on a single heavy scorer. Chakravarthy underscored that the biggest strength of the side is its batting depth—several players capable of contributing and accelerating when conditions demand. His comments come as India look to refine their approach to spin-friendly Delhi conditions and maintain momentum for the rest of the series. Overall, the result reinforced India’s balance, with a composed chase, contributions from across the batting order, and growing confidence ahead of the next match.
