Australia’s Matthew Short highlighted India’s Varun Chakravarthy as a major threat in the ongoing T20 series, despite flat pitches, noting Chakravarthy’s four wickets and unpredictable pace. Short said Australia has studied him closely, warning of his potential impact in spin-friendly conditions at next year’s T20 World Cup in India or Sri Lanka. He also discussed adapting to a middle-order role requiring quick scoring, acknowledging the tough competition for a World Cup spot against established power-hitters like Tim David and Glenn Maxwell, and stressed the need to improve his game against spin.
