IND vs SL 2021: Varun Chakravarthy takes to his Twitter account to describe his journey from an architect to an Indian cricketer 

Varun Chakravarthy made his debut for the Indian national side in the first T20I against Sri Lanka. The mystery spinner had been selected for a couple of previous tours as well however failed to make it to the team as he did not pass the fitness test. Chakravarthy worked on his fitness and made it to the Indian team this time around.

Varun started off his professional career as an architect and later decided that he wanted to pursue cricket. He made his list A debut as late as 2018 in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Chakravarthy was bought by Kings XI Punjab in IPL 2019 but played one game that season. In 2019, he was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders and that was a game-changer for his career.
