India National Cricket Team spinner Varun Chakravarthy has seemed unplayable in the ongoing third T20I against England National Cricket Team. The virtual series decider between the teams is taking place at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot.
Varun Chakravarthy, who troubled the England National Cricket Team batters in the last two T20Is, has carried the same form in the ongoing game as well. The mystery spinner has spun the web around the batters and has provided his team with crucial breakthroughs in the ongoing match.
Of all the wickets that he took, the scalp of Jamie Overton was arguably the best. The spinner produced a peach of a ball that made the batter look clueless, and he was forced to take the long walk back to the pavilion on the first ball that he faced.
Varun Chakravarthy bowled a googly around leg and Jamie Overton went for a paddle sweep. He missed it altogether and was bowled from behind his legs. The leg pole went for a toss as the India National Cricket Team spinner bagged his third wicket of the day.

Hardik Pandya was the top run-getter for his team as he fought hard with the bat in the end. The all-rounder played a decent innings of 40 runs off 35 balls but couldn't take his team home. England National Cricket Team restricted the hosts to 145 to win the match by 26 runs.
