Indian National Cricket Team spinner Varun Chakraborty led his team to the top in the ongoing first T20I against England National Cricket Team. The first match of the five-match series between the teams is being played at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
In the ongoing game, Varun Chakravarthy did not make much of an impact with the ball. The mystery spinner did most of the damage, picking up two big wickets in Harry Brooke and Liam Livingstone to put the Indian National Cricket Team on top in his second innings.
Varun Chakraborty first took Harry Brook out with a peach. He looked to drop it with a batter but got an inside edge. The ball shook off his pads and rolled onto the stumps to stun the batter.
If that wasn’t enough, Varun Chakraborty produced another magic ball to eliminate Liam Livingstone. The dough gave way and she exposed her stumps as she was pounded by the whimper. The batsman looked to take it offside. They beat him and dislodged his leg.
Varun Chakravarthy comes with two brilliant balls to remove Harry Brook and Liam Livingstone.
