T20 International debut in the year 2021 but still played only 11 matches. This is because Varun Chakraborty got a chance to play for Team India directly in 2024 after his debut year. He came into the team after waiting for 3 years. And now that he has returned, he seems to have taken out all the troubles. The world is seeing a different Varun Chakraborty in the T20 series against South Africa. He was already a mystery spinner but in the current series he is making history with mystery. Making records in every match. And, don't be surprised if he continues the same trend and breaks another big record in the third T20.
The third match of the T20 series between India and South Africa is in Centurion, where Varun Chakravarthy can hold the Indian record of being the bowler taking the most wickets in a bilateral T20 series. He is very close to breaking this record. To do this they need 2 more wickets in the series. That is, if even 1 wicket is taken in the third T20 or even that is not taken then there is no need to be disappointed because after this the fourth T20 will also be the last chance for them.
R holds the record of taking most wickets in bilateral T20 series for India. Ashwin's name is. His record made in the year 2016 still stands today. Then he took 9 wickets in the 3 T20 series against Sri Lanka. Last year, although Ravi Bishnoi also took 9 wickets against Australia, it was a series of 5 T20 matches.
Varun Chakraborty is also playing in the 4 T20 match series against South Africa. He has taken 8 wickets in the first 2 T20s alone. That means, to break the Indian record in Ashwin's name, he needs just 2 wickets. And, from the kind of form he has shown by taking South Africa's 5 wickets for 17 runs in the second T20, it seems that he will definitely break the record of most wickets in a bilateral T20 series.
