Several fans mistook actor Varun Dhawan for Team India cricketer Varun Chakaravarthy and started congratulating him for dismissing Australia's Travis Head in the Champions Trophy 2025 semi-final. After the match, Chakaravarthy jokingly commented on Dhawan's post, "Well bowled bhaiya." Notably, Varun Chakaravarthy took two wickets in the semi-final.
