Varun Chakravarthy returns with figures of 3/23 in the first T20I against England

One of the main reasons behind the victory of the Indian national cricket team was spinner Varun Chakravarthy. The enigmatic spinner broke the spine of the England national cricket team and ensured that he helped his team finish the opposition innings with a low total.

Chakravarthy’s side, who came forward on the power play, did not take long to make any impact with the ball. He struck in his second over and removed both Harry Brook and Liam Livingstone to bring his team back into the match at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

Then Varun Chakravarthy went on to remove Jos Buttler as well and ended up taking three wickets. The India National Cricket Team pacer returned with figures of 3/23 in the first T20I. Building on his brilliant effort with the ball, he helped India beat England by just 132 runs.

It’s still 7 in the morning, and there’s still more work to do – Varun Chakravarthy

While talking about his performance with the ball, Chakravarthy said that he is used to this pitch because of the Indian Premier League. He spoke about his plans early and while speaking after the match, the Indian national cricket team player said:

“I’m still 7 out of 10, and there’s still more work to do. I’m used to seeing pitches like this in the IPL. I know they’re for seamers, but I know there are certain lengths that are good for me. What I want is to realize that I don’t I can beat batsmen with lateral movement, and the only way I can beat batsmen is through bounce.

Bowling to batsmen like Joss and other players is a challenge – Varun Chakravarthy

Varun Chakravarthy said he wants to keep the ball away from the batting arc. He spoke about his plan for Jos Buttler and admitted that the final finish was difficult, but he thanks God for his success. He added:

“I’m trying to keep him off their bow, he’s been holding up a bit. Every time, bowling at Eden is a big challenge. It’s definitely a big challenge to play with batsmen like Joss and other players. The last innings was tough and challenging, but Thanks to God I succeeded.

He will be keen to continue his performance in his second match and help the team win. The next match will be held on Saturday (January 25).
