Bollywood star Varun Dhawan hilariously posted a morphed video of him bowling in place of Varun Chakravarthy during the Champions Trophy 2025 clash against New Zealand in Dubai. In a video shared on social media, Varun shared the video to showcase his support to Team India ahead of the Champions Trophy final on Sunday vs New Zealand.
Varun Chakaravarthy, India's latest spin sensation, hilariously commented, 'Well bowled bhaiya' after the Bollywood actor comically took the credit for dismissing Travis Head during the semi-final bout vs Australia in Dubai on Tuesday. The 33-year-old leg spinner caused havoc against New Zealand in their group-stage game with a fifer and chipped in with a couple of scalps against Australia in the semi-final.
In a video posted on Instagram, Varun Dhawan wrote:
"Since the internet is having fun I decided to join In
All the best to the boys in blue and the other VARUN to shine bright on Sunday let’s go."

India and New Zealand had also battled in the 2000 ICC Knockout Trophy final
The two sides had also battled one another in the ICC Knockout Trophy in 2000 as well. Batting first, India had amassed 264/6, headlined by skipper Sourav Ganguly's 117 and a knock of 69 from Sachin Tendulkar.
However, Chris Cairns' match-winning ton overshadowed their efforts as he took the Black Caps past the target with four wickets to spare in the last over. Hence, New Zealand will look to replicate that glory.
