The old magic is back is the Indian team, not with the same faces but with the same lethal effect. Kuldeep Yadav has found a new partner-in-crime in Varun Chakravarthy and together, they’ve been giving opposition batters nightmares.

If you thought the KulCha era ended with Yuzvendra Chahal’s dip in form, think again. There’s a new recipe in town, and it’s tasting just as good if not better.

Varun Chakravarthy: The X-Factor In India’s Bowling Attack

Varun Chakravarthy’s inclusion in India’s XI for the Champions Trophy turned out to be a masterstroke. From the moment he stepped onto the field against New Zealand in the group stage, he’s been making batters dance to his tunes. A fifer against the Kiwis, a match-winning spell in the semis against Australia, and now, two wickets in the final, this man has been on fire.

Not just the wickets, but the way he’s bowling: sharp, unpredictable and unplayable at times has made him a game-changer. The control in middle overs has been suffocating for opposition batters, something India lacked for a while. It’s no longer just about Kuldeep weaving his magic alone. There’s a new mystery spinner in town and he’s got the world talking.

KulCha 2.0 Taking Charge

A few years ago, Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal were India’s trump cards in white-ball cricket. The duo ran riot between 2017 and 2022, breaking partnerships for fun and controlling the middle phase. But as Chahal faded from the scene, many feared the KulCha magic was gone for good. Enter Varun Chakravarthy.

The right-arm mystery spinner has stepped up big time and alongside Kuldeep, he’s proving to be India’s new spin force. The duo has been bowling in tandem like they’ve been doing it for years. One keeps it tight, the other strikes. It’s a deadly combo, and batters have had no answers.

Fans Go Berserk Over The New KulCha

Twitter was on fire as fans celebrated India’s new spin twins. Some hailed Varun as “far better than Chahal,” while others called him “the missing piece in India’s bowling puzzle.” The hype is real, and the performances back it up.

Here's a look at how fans reacted to the new 'KulCha'

"After Chahal it's another one making an Irresistible KulCha...va va ..Varun!" - @4_Simplicity_

"I have never seen any Indian spinner being so effective that literally every bowl he bowls it seems like a wicket is gonna come in LOIs. Varun has been terrific this year. Much higher ceiling than likes of kuldeep, chahal, ashwin, jadeja in shorter formats." - @HBJ3221

"I feel Varun Chakrabarty has become India's best spinner now. Kuldeep's job in danger. But you need to feel bad for Chahal. #INDvsNZ #ViratKohli @" @NFTNovelty1

"Varun is far far far better than Chahal... a proper team player!" - @XaviVision

"Real Kulcha 🔥#INDvsNZ #ChampionsTrophyFinal" - @ritksharmaa


NZ Looking To Rebuild In The Final

Meanwhile, in the ongoing final, New Zealand find themselves at 175/5 after 41 overs. Daryl Mitchell and Michael Bracewell are at the crease, trying to steer the Kiwis to a respectable total.

With the way India’s spinners are operating, anything around 250 might feel like a mountain to climb. For now, all eyes are on KulCha 2.0 and if this partnership continues to flourish, India’s white-ball future looks in safe hands.
