What reason did Varun Chakravarthy give for spinners finding it difficult to get purchase during the Powerplay in the Asia Cup?
The harder ball does not offer much assistance to spinners early in the matchVarun Chakravarthy noted that spinners struggle during the Powerplay because the hard ball doesn’t grip the pitch well, offering minimal turn or bounce. From a spinner’s perspective, early overs provide little help from the wicket, making wicket-taking challenging. However, as the game progresses and the ball softens, spinners find better traction and effectiveness. He also mentioned that field restrictions spreading out later in the innings make it easier to attack. Hence, his strategy focuses on containment early and aggression in the death overs when conditions favor spin.
