3 T20Is have been done and dusted in the ongoing series between India and England and the visitors have roared back strongly after a convincing win in the 3rd game. Prior to the Rajkot match, England trailed, 0-2, and needed to win the contest to keep the series alive. The Three Lions, despite a few hiccups outplayed the Suryakumar Yadav led side to even things up.

Interestingly, India had the upper hand heading into the break after England's batting. Despite losing Phil Salt early, Ben Duckett and Jos Buttler took the attack to the Indian bowlers and the team was marching towards a big total when Varun Chakravarthy came into the attack and put a break on the scoring rate.

Not one, not two, but the mystery spinner scalped 5 wickets for 24 runs and ran riot with the ball as the England batters simply couldn't play him and got restricted to a mere 171/9. The Indian spinner has been a force to reckon in the series as the visitors havve been found out against his guile and skills.

In 3 matches, he has scalped 10 wickets, at an average of just 8.50, including a stunning 5-wicket haul.

Indian duo of Axar Patel and Hardik Pandya also have 5 wickets each, and England seamer, Jofra Archer also has bagged 5 wickets, at an average of 22.80. India lead the series, 2-1, and the next match will be played in Pune on
