India captain Suryakumar Yadav on Saturday brushed aside any concerns about the form of Varun Chakravarthy, but the intrigue over the mystery spinner’s spot in the playing XI for the T20 World Cup final against New Zealand refused to die down on the eve of the summit clash here.
With Kuldeep Yadav waiting in the wings, the team’s final combination remains a talking point even as the skipper insisted that there was no anxiety within the camp regarding Chakravarthy’s returns in the tournament.
