Varun Chakravarthy contributes for India with ball as well as in the field to put England under massive pressure
One of the key contributions for India with the ball and in the field came from Varun Chakravarthy. The mystery spinner didn't take long to make an impact as he removed England National Cricket Team skipper Jos Buttler on the first ball of his spell.
While he has been troubling the England National Cricket Team batters, he also made sure that he comes up with a brilliant effort on the field. Varun Chakravarthy produced a sensational catch to remove the vice-captain of the opposition, Harry Brook, in the ongoing game.
On the third ball of the 6th over, Ravi Bishnoi bowled a good length ball on off that was googly. Harry Brook looked to sweep and completely miscued it as he got a thick top edge. It seemed that the ball would land safely, but Varun Chakravarthy came up with a great effort.
Varun Chakravarthy ran across from deep backward square and took a brilliant catch with the hands before tumbling over and ending Harry Brook's innings on a low score.
