On the South Africa tour, India started the 4-match T20 series with a win, but the tables turned in the second match. On the basis of the brilliant bowling of host South Africa, it defeated Team India in the second match and leveled the series 1-1.
With the defeat at the hands of South Africa, Team India's winning streak also came to an end. The African team ended India's winning streak of 11 T-20 matches. In this match, Varun Chakraborty bowled brilliantly and took 5 wickets, but Team India could not avoid defeat. Varun Chakraborty dismissed 5 batsmen for 17 runs in 4 overs and put the team in a strong position at one time but the excellent batting of Tristan Stubbs and Gerald Coetzee gave the victory to the host team. In this way a shameful record was added to the name of Varun Chakraborty.
Varun Chakraborty's 5 wickets were useless
It is noteworthy that India, batting first, scored 124 runs losing 6 wickets in 20 overs. Only Hardik Pandya could play successfully from India's side. Pandya scored the maximum 39 runs. After this, South Africa, who came to bat, had a good start. However, the team's first wicket fell at 22 runs. Ryan became the victim of Arshdeep Singh after scoring 13 runs. After this, Varun Chakraborty came to bowl and gave the second blow to South Africa by dismissing Reeza Hendricks on the team's score of 33 runs. After this, Varun Chakraborty dismissed Aiden Markram, Marco Jensen, Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller, reducing South Africa's 6 wickets to 66 runs. However, Tristan Stubbs stood strong at one end and managed to lead his team to victory.
A shameful record registered in the name of Varun
In this way a very shameful record was registered in Varun's name. In fact, this bowling performance of Varun Chakravarthy is the best T20I performance by a bowler from a full member country, in which his team lost. Earlier this shameful record was in the name of Bangladesh bowler Mustafizur Rahman. Rahman took 5 wickets for 22 runs against New Zealand in Kolkata in 2016. However, Bangladesh had to face defeat in this match.
