Gautam Gambhir, who became the head coach of Team India after winning the T20 World Cup 2024, has made many big changes in the team. After the defeat against Sri Lanka and New Zealand, many of his decisions are also being criticized. But he has worked to save Varun Chakraborty’s sinking career. In the T20 series against Bangladesh, Gambhir brought Varun Chakravarthy back after 3 years and he took 3 wickets in the very first match.
He did not stop here, his brilliant performance continues against South Africa as well. However, after the T20 World Cup in 2021, it seemed as if Jay Shah and the selectors had decided to ruin his career. This was more evident when Varun Chakraborty himself broke his silence and told that he had suffered a minor injury during the tournament, which was cured in 3 to 4 weeks. But he was repeatedly declared injured and sidelined in Team India.
Returned to Team India after 3 years
Due to Gautam Gambhir, Varun Chakraborty got a chance to return to Team India after a long wait of 3 years in the series against Bangladesh. Let us tell you that Chakraborty made his debut against Sri Lanka in Colombo in the year 2021. But after a few matches, he was shown the way out of Team India. But now returning once again, Varun Chakraborty has performed brilliantly in T20. He has taken 13 wickets in 5 matches played after his comeback.
Open claws against South Africa

After this, in the second Test, he trapped the African batsmen in his window and took 5 wickets in the match. This was his first 5-wicket haul in international cricket. However, despite Chakravarthy’s brilliant performance, Team India had to face defeat in the second match.
