Varun Chakravarthy responds to Abrar Ahmed’s 'FANTASTIC' tea dig at IAF Wing Commander Abhinandan
Dubai: Varun Chakravarthy, one of India's key performers in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, took a swipe at Pakistan spinner Abrar Ahmed after India's four-wicket victory over New Zealand in the final. Chakravarthy shared a celebratory post on Instagram, holding the Champions Trophy and sipping coffee, with the caption, “A lot of distance was travelled to get a taste of this Cup.”
His remark appeared to be a response to Abrar Ahmed, who had earlier posted a picture of himself in green and white attire, holding a cup of tea with the caption, “Last cup of fantastic evening tea,” seemingly mocking the 2019 capture of Indian Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman. Ahmed’s post had sparked reactions among Indian fans.
Chakravarthy played a crucial role in India's campaign, finishing as the joint-highest wicket-taker alongside Mohammed Shami with nine wickets, including a five-wicket haul against New Zealand in the group stage. He also contributed in the final with figures of 2-45, dismissing Will Young early in the innings.
Despite criticism over India's travel-free schedule, the team's consistent performances secured their first ICC ODI title since 2013.
