Indian cricketer Varun Chakravarthy was instrumental in India's stunning victory in the recently held ICC Champions Trophy in Dubai. His brilliant spin bowling earned him the second spot in the tournament's wicket-taker list, marking a profound imprint on the tournament.
Surprisingly, prior to establishing himself in Indian cricket, Varun Chakravarthy featured in the 2014 Tamil movie Jeeva. The sports drama, produced by actor Arya and starring Vishnu Vishal and Sri Divya in starring roles, had seen Varun do a small cameo.
After India's runaway win in the Champions Trophy final, pictures of his look in Jeeva have been going viral on social media. To his other relatively unknown on-screen projects, he had also been a part of the popular Tamil reality series Cooku With Comali.
The 33-year-old cricket player studied architecture at SRM University in Chennai before opting for professional cricket. He debuted in T20I for India in July 2021 and played for teams such as Kings XI Punjab and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
