India has won the first two games in the five-match T20I series against England at Chennai and Kolkata, respectively, and is now in the lead. The team captained by Suryakuymar Yadav is currently only one victory away from winning the series again, with a 2-0 advantage. It goes without saying that England’s chances of winning the final three games are now quite slim.
The English batter Harry Brook has been unable to overcome Varun Chakravarthy, whose spin has been doing a lot of damage. He had claimed that the fog made it hard to read Chakravarthy’s deliveries following the Kolkata match. It’s interesting to note that a similar dismissal took place in Chennai, when the mystery spinner once more discovered the pad-bat gap at a location with good visibility.
Ravichandran Ashwin, the former Indian all-rounder and great spin bowler, was among the many experts who criticized Brook for his pollution statement.
There wasn’t any smog in Chennai. Picking Varun Chakravarthy was challenging because, as Harry Brook had already said, there was fog in Kolkata. One thing I would like to convey to Harry Brook is that Varun Chakravarthy does not bowl leg spin too often. In a video posted on his YouTube channel, Ash Ki Baat, Ashwin declared, “It is googly.”
Because you were unable to read the delivery after moving to the leg stump, you were bowled. After covering the stump and taking a large stride, you were bowled again because you were unable to read the googly. Ashwin continued, “You are simply not reading the delivery out of his hand if you are not reading the googly out of his hand, regardless of how bright the light is.”
In relation to the series, the following match is scheduled on Tuesday, January 28 at Rajkot’s Niranjan Shah Stadium. At an average of 12.20, Chakravarthy took five wickets in the two games he played, making him the series’ greatest wicket-taker to date.
