Speed and Style: Fundamental Differences
The definitive roles of a left-arm spinner rest with Mitchell Santner who depends on flight along with drift and strives for precision. At 82.90 km/h his average bowling speed lets him deceive batters by adjusting his pace. The defense and aggressive offensive options that Santner possesses stem from his remarkable skill of speed adjustment and length regulation.
The delivery style of Varun Chakravarthy stands out as he throws the ball with a rapid 93.74 km/h pace without granting it time for airtime. Chakravarthy’s unorthodox side-grip delivery path creates extra time challenges for batters because it requires less action time than typical spinners.

Spin and Deviation: Quality vs. Quantity
The most striking difference between the two lies in their spin characteristics. Santner generates extraordinary spin in the tournament because 38.6% of his deliveries create turns exceeding 4.5 degrees which ranks as number two. This major angular variation indicates his conventional method of bowling spin.
Every deviation from traditional spin in Chakravarthy’s bowling stance is extreme because his spinning deliveries reach only 0.8% of all his balls beyond 4.5 degrees. The spin range of his deliveries falls under 2.5 degrees for 88.5% of his deliveries. Chakravarthy reaches deceptive speeds without spinning the ball extensively which reveals his efficiency comes from his deceptive delivery style rather than conventional turning motion.

Length Control: Consistency vs. Variety
Through excellent command of the ball Santner executes 81.7 percent of his bowling deliveries in the good length range or back of a length variations. The mixture of accurate delivery placements (45.9% good length and 35.8% back-of-a-length) creates consistent control together with tiny bowling adjustments that prevent batters from predicting his next delivery.
Chakravarthy selects an unconventional bowling strategy because his deliveries measure at good length only 63% of the time alongside 30% of his pitches being significantly shorter than standard. Based on his delivery percentages the left arm pacer manages unpredictability by distributing his pitches among good length and back-of-a-length and short category.
