Ace leg-spinner Varun Chakravarthy's good performance in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) was rewarded on Monday when the selectors picked him as the lone new face in the Indian T20 squad for the upcoming tour of Australia.

Chakravarthy, 29 and a professional architect, has so far bagged 12 wickets, including a five-wicket haul, in 10 IPL games for Kolkata Knight Riders, and impressed one and all.
