Strengths
Spin bowler Chakravarthy leads most batsmen because he can deliver googlies sliders leg-breaks and carrom balls from his bowling repertoire. The key to his effectiveness in the New Zealand match became evident through his bowling of the googly to Will Young followed by the slider to Glenn Phillips and the turning delivery against Rachin Ravindra.
The 1.8° turning action of Chakravarthy makes him ideal for exploiting the gripping conditions on the Dubai batting arena. A repeat of his outstanding NZ game performance would be possible because he used 37.3 overs of spin to limit the opponents to only 205 runs.

Rohit Sharma demonstrated complete faith in Chakravarthy by dedicating either separate or consecutive periods for the delivery of ten overs to him without Yadav. High-pressure matches need players to have complete trust in each other’s abilities because it forms the backbone of successful execution in such conditions.
Weaknesses
The Australian batsmen already proved their dominance against spinner bowling during previous matches although Chakravarthy lacks tournament experience against this opponent.
When Chakravarthy elevates his deliveries to Maxwell during his attacking moments the risk increases that the batsman will exploit the shot opportunity through the boundary.
Predicted Impact and Conclusion
India has a solid chance of triumphing against Australia because of Chakravarthy’s exceptional bowling style. When he enters the match he might claim between two to three prominent wickets most particularly targeting Smith and Maxwell. The range of his economy rate would stay between 4.5 and 5 to restrict Australia to 240 to 250 runs while denying them the ability to score 280 or more.
The strategic placement of Chakravarthy during the attack alongside field positioning alongside delivery variation would help change the game through his unique spin technique. The fans will closely follow his clever use of his unexpected bowling technique during this important match.
