India, March 4 -- Varun Chakravarthy got a chance to show his worth in the Champions Trophy and he did more than that. Chakravarthy answered the call by taking a five-wicket haul and pretty much being the central factor behind India's comfortable victory over New Zealand in their last group match. Chakravarthy was included in place of Harshit Rana and with conditions expected to remain favourable to spinners, it is hard to see the pacer coming back.

Even if he does return, Chakravarthy won't be the man making way. Moreover, Rohit Sharma would be leaning towards making no changes and it is how it is most probably going to be with India having to deal with the formidable challenge of facing Australia in a big ICC tournament fixture.

Hardi...
