- Despite the superb performance of the Indian team’s superstar player, Team India has to face defeat repeatedly. Whenever this player performs brilliantly, Team India only loses.
Team India: Team India had to face defeat by 26 runs in the third T20I match played at Niranjan Shah Cricket Stadium in Rajkot. After the bowlers flopped, the batsmen were also unable to do anything big. The Indian team adorned with stars like Sanju Samson, captain Suryakumar Yadav, Abhishek Sharma, Akshar Patel, and Hardik Pandya was able to score only 145 runs at the loss of 9 wickets in 20 overs and lost the match by 26 runs, but in this match one player had performed brilliantly, but the special thing is that whenever that player performs brilliantly, Team India has to face defeat only.
The British got caught in a spin
While all the bowlers were struggling, the balls of mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy were a headache for the English. Varun’s performance in this series has been excellent, which was also seen in Rajkot. This superstar player took the wickets of a total of 5 English batsmen with his mystery spin bowling, which included the important wickets of England captain Jos Buttler (24), Jamie Smith (6), Jamie Overton (0), Brydon Carse (3) and Jofra Archer (0). This was Varun’s second five-wicket haul in T20I in his career. Earlier, he had opened his claws against South Africa on their soil.
Varun gets defeated after his performance
However, whenever Varun Chakraborty takes a five-wicket haul in T20I for Team India, Team India has to face defeat. Earlier, in the second T20I match against South Africa, Varun Chakraborty took 5 wickets for 17 runs in 4 overs. But despite this, India had to face defeat by 3 wickets.
Now, in the third T20I against England, Varun Chakraborty once again took 5 wickets for 24 runs in 4 overs, but this time Team India had to face defeat by 26 runs. However, Varun was adjudged the Player of the Match for his brilliant bowling.
Varun becomes a mystery in T20I
Team India’s star mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy is proving to be very effective in the shortest format of cricket. It is becoming tough for all the batsmen to understand his mystery spin, due to which he is continuously taking wickets. So far in the T20I series against England, he has taken 10 wickets in 3 matches with a tremendous average of 8.50. Whereas earlier on the South Africa tour, he took 12 wickets in four games with a brilliant average of 11.50. While he has so far taken a total of 29 wickets in 16 games with an average of 14.75, which includes two five-wicket hauls. Varun has taken a total of 22 wickets in his last seven matches.
