Varun Chakravarthy’s first claim to fame was the 2018 Tamil Nadu Premier League where he spun Siechem Madurai Panthers to their maiden title. Several rejections in age-group cricket prompted him to switch career paths. Playing for Madurai, a team that had not won a single match before the 2018 season, he performed the roles of wicket-taker and one who restricts batsmen. He went on to make his debut for Tamil Nadu in the 50-over Vijay Hazare Trophy. He subsequently made his Ranji Trophy debut for Tamil Nadu.
