The Champions Trophy may have ended, but it is still the talk of the town. Players who performed well are discussed on and off social media. After India’s victory, there is also a lot of talk about Varun Chakaravarthy, who emerged as the star of the Champions Trophy. Varun took the most wickets for India and was called Rohit Sharma‘s trump card. On the strength of his leg spin bowling, he helped India move towards victory. His exceptional bowling skills in the Champions Trophy 2025 have played an important role in India’s success, earning him recognition as a key player in the team. By the way, do you know that Varun was an actor before joining the Indian team?
Varun Chakaravarthy has worked in Tamil films
Before gaining fame as a cricketer, Varun Chakaravarthy had a great career in the entertainment industry. In the year 2014, he appeared in the Tamil film ‘Jeeva’, a sports drama. The film was based on his own life story. He also participated in a popular cooking reality show, in which he showcased his versatility and attracted a wide audience.
Varun played a small role in the 2014 Tamil film ‘Jeeva’, starring Vishnu Vishal in the lead role. At that time, Varun knew that he was playing a small role in a film that almost resembles his life story. The film revolves around a talented cricketer who struggles to keep his dream alive while fighting the system with his modest means. The protagonist is seen as a different person, a lost face at a local club, but his appearance changes in the dressing room. Even as he climbs the ladder, the tag of being different hangs over him, which almost forces him to quit cricket until a phone call from an IPL scout changes his life forever. The film ends with ‘Jeeva’ playing for India.
