  1. "Don’t expect miracles from game one" - VVS Laxman backs Varun Chakravarthy Former India cricketer VVS Laxman has backed the mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy after his lackluster debut in the first T20I against Sri Lanka on Sunday. The former batsman has said that Chakravarthy's mystery spin can be an X-factor but the team needs to groom him with patience without expecting 'miracles' immediately.

He didn't have a good start in Colombo either, conceding 25 runs from his first three overs as well. However, in the final over he dismissed the opposition skipper Dasun Shanaka, and concluded his debut with an economy rate of 7. “Firstly, I am glad that he (Varun Chakravarthy) got this opportunity because twice he was already selected, but didn’t pass the fitness test and was not part of the squad. I think there’s a lot of chat about the mystery surrounding his bowling. I was talking with the Sunrisers batsman and they are all impressed with the way and the consistency with which he bowls in different parts and phases of the match. He can bowl with the new ball, he can come and take wickets whenever the captain and the team want to break a partnership –that means he’s got an X-factor," VVS Laxman said on Star Sports show Game Plan. "And we just want him to get exposure of international cricket and the only way he can do that is by making him play. So, I’m sure that he is really looking forward to this opportunity, but one thing which we have realized over years is to make sure you give him the opportunity. Don’t expect miracles from game one. It is very important to show patience and belief in a player,” he further added.

They put up a below-par total of 164 in the first innings but the bowling attack, led by Bhuvneshwar Kumar (4-22), Deepak Chahar (2-24) and Yuzvendra Chahal (1-19), restricted them for just 126 runs.
