India National Cricket Team spinner Varun Chakravarthy has made a triumphant return to the national side in the ongoing second T20I against Bangladesh at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. After a three-year hiatus, the mystery spinner has ensured that his comeback is one to remember, with a performance that kept India in the hunt and showcased his unique skill set.
Chakravarthy wasted no time in entering the wickets column, claiming the crucial scalp of Bangladesh’s wicketkeeper-batter Litton Das early in the chase. On his very first ball, he delivered a jaffa, a near-perfect delivery that completely deceived Das. The Bangladesh batter, who had started to find his rhythm, was undone by Chakravarthy’s clever bowling, leaving him looking bewildered as the ball shattered his stumps.

The dismissal came during the powerplay, giving India a crucial breakthrough at an important moment in the match. Varun Chakravarthy bowled a googly on the shorter side, and Liton Das, trying to pull it across the line, misjudged the bounce. As the ball skidded through, it beat Das and clattered into the stumps, sending the Delhi crowd into a frenzy.
