Varun Chakravarthy Dismisses Litton Das

India National Cricket Team spinner Varun Chakravarthy is making sure that he makes his comeback series a memorable one. The mystery spinner has kept his team in the hunt in the ongoing second T20I against the Bangladesh National Cricket Team, which is underway at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.

Varun Chakravarthy, who is making his India return after three years, made sure that he enters the wickets column in the ongoing second T20I against Bangladesh National Cricket Team as well. The spinner provided his team with the important wicket of Litton Das in the chase.

On the first ball that he bowled in the game, Varun Chakravarthy came up with the jaffa and picked a wicket for his team inside the powerplay. The mystery spinner made the Bangladesh National Cricket Team batter look clueless and sent him packing after a bit of a start with the bat.

Chakravarthy bowled a googly on the shorter side and Litton Das looked to swipe it across the line. The keeper-batter got beaten due to the lack of bounce and the stumps got disturbed.

Former India National Cricket Team player Wasim Jaffer lauded young batters Nitish Reddy and Rinku Singh for their performance with the bat in the second T20I. He believes that it was a terrific counter-attacking partnership and credited the team for winning the series. He said:

"Always good to see young potential being converted into performance. Terrific counter-attacking partnership between Nitish and Rinku after India lost 3 weeks in the PP. Bangladesh were never in the game after that. Congratulations, India, on sealing the series."

With the bat, India was reeling at 41/3. It was then when Rinku Singh (53), along with Nitish Kumar Reddy (74), bailed the team out of trouble and brought them back into the game. The duo added 108 runs off 59 balls and put Bangladesh National Cricket Team on backfoot in the game.
