There is no doubt that Varun Chakraborty is seen in a different gear since his return to Team India last year. His performance seems to be next level. The same form and performance was seen in the first T20 played against England in Kolkata. Varun also got a reward for his performance. He was elected player of the match. But while everyone looked happy, this mystery spinner of India looked unhappy with his own performance. He gave himself only 7 marks out of 10. The question is why? The team won. He himself became the player of the match. Then where and why did you deduct 3 marks from yourself?
Of course the world should applaud any performer or player. But, where was the mistake in his performance? In which respect he did not live up to his expectations, only those who perform can know. Plays. Varun Chakraborty was also aware of his shortcomings. And, with great honesty, he also accepted his shortcomings during the post match presentation after the match was over.
Varun Chakraborty, who became the player of the match, took 3 wickets for 23 runs in 4 overs in the first T20 played against England. These three wickets belonged to three powerful batsmen of England, whose names are Harry Brook, Liam Livingston and Jos Buttler. Of these, Brook and Livingston were dismissed by Varun in the same over. However, despite this strong performance, he did not appear happy.
In the post match presentation, after winning the Player of the Match, Varun Chakraborty said that he still needs to work a lot on his bowling. He gave himself 7 out of 10 for his performance in the first T20. That means according to him he performed only 70 percent.
Now the question is why did Varun cut his own 3 numbers? Explaining the reason behind this, he said that he was successful in beating the bowlers with his bounce. But he was not able to do this due to side spin. According to Varun Chakraborty, he needs to fix the same thing in his bowling.
Well, with the win in Kolkata, India has taken a 1-0 lead in the 5-match T20 series. Now the second T20 will be played between the two in Chennai on January 25.
