It was cricketing lessons to be relearned for the Proteas as they lost the third T20I of the four-match series against India at SuperSport Park in Centurion on Wednesday, November 13. Varun Chakravarthy continued his show in the T20 Internationals for India as he once again remained the talking point in the third T20I of the four-match series against South Africa at SuperSport Park in Centurion. The talented mystery spinner continued to play a crucial role in India's bowling attack as he proved yet again to the world that he is unstoppable in the shortest format of the game.
Chakravarthy increased his total number of wickets to 10 in the three games he has played so far by taking two in the third encounter. Chakravarthy became the first Indian bowler in history to take ten wickets in a bilateral Twenty20 International series with ten in the current series. Followed by him is Ravichandran Ashwin – 9 vs Sri Lanka (2016), Ravi Bishnoi – 9 vs Australia (2023), Deepak Chahar – 8 vs Bangladesh (2019), and Axar Patel – 8 vs Australia (2022).
Chakravarthy bowled very differently and with enough guile and in the game overall, proved to be the stand-out player. He made it his job to outfox South African batsmen with all kinds of flight, guile, and wrist spin and became India's main weapon. From the top order, the South Africans went struggling against the variations Chakravarthy brought in with slight changes in pace and also in deliveries that would fly high and confuse the batsmen.
Chakravarthy has joined Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Kuldeep Yadav in the list of five-wicket hauls against South Africa in T20Is. Get Latest News Live on Times Now along with Breaking News and Top Headlines from Cricket, Sports and around the world..
