NEW DELHI: New Zealand coach Gary Stead acknowledged that India's 'mystery' spinner Varun Chakravarthy poses a big challenge in the ICC Champions Trophy final, as the Kiwis strategise to counter him. The ICC showpiece final between India and New Zealand is scheduled for Sunday at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
Speaking to reporters on Friday, Stead expressed, "We certainly expect him to play after getting 5/42 against us in the last game. He's a class bowler, and showed his skills against us last time and he's a big threat in the game."
