Varun is said to have seven variations of spin in his repertoire which are off break, leg break, googly, carrom ball, flipper, top-spinner and a slider aimed at the batsmen's toes to york them.

Varun Chakravarthy was in his native Tanjavur when he became one of the costliest players of IPL 2019 and he immediately went with his parents to the Periya Kovil to offer poojas. The man of the moment is an ardent Thalapathy Vijay fan which is one of the most interesting trivia about him.
