Varun Chakravarthy returns with figures of 3/23 in his first T20I against England
One of the main reasons behind the victory of the Indian National Cricket Team was the spinner Varun Chakraborty. The mystery spinner has broken the backbone of the England National Cricket Team and made sure to help his team finish the opposition innings with a low score.
Attacking in the power play, Chakravarthy did not make much of an impact with the ball. He scored his second goal and dismissed both Harry Brook and Liam Livingstone to send his team back into the game at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
Varun Chakravarthy then went on to remove Jos Buttler as well and scored three wickets. The Indian National Cricket Team spinner returned with figures of 3/23 in the first T20I. Based on his impressive effort with the ball, he helped India bowl out England for just 132 runs.
I’m still 7 for 10, I still have a lot to do – Varun Chakravarty
Talking about his performance with the ball, Chakravarthy said that he is used to this pitch because of IPL. He spoke early about his plans and speaking after the game, the Indian National Cricket Team spinner said:
“I’m still 7 for 10, I still have a lot of work to do. I’m used to seeing pitches like this in the IPL. I know it’s for the seamers, but I know there are certain lengths that work for me. I realized that I’m not going to be able to bat. .
It is difficult to bowl to batsmen like Jos and other guys – Varun Chakravarty
Varun Chakravarthy said he wanted to keep the ball away from the batsman’s arc. He told Jos Buttler about his plan and admitted that the latter was difficult but thanked God for his success. He added:
“I’m trying to keep him out of their arc, he caught a little bit. Bowling at Eden is tough every time. It is definitely difficult to bowl to batsmen like Jos and other guys. The last stage was very difficult and difficult, but by God’s grace I succeeded.”
He would like to continue his performance in his second game and help the team win. The next game will be held on Saturday (January 25).
