India's bowling unit thrived on a batting-friendly Eden Gardens surface during the first T20I against England, with spinner Varun Chakravarthy delivering a stellar performance. The mystery spinner picked up three crucial wickets, derailing England’s batting lineup early.

Chakravarthy’s spell started with the dismissal of Harry Brook, who had looked to build a partnership with Jos Buttler. Varun bowled a beautifully flighted delivery that deceived Brook, crashing into the stumps. 

Two balls later, Liam Livingstone became the victim of another magnificent googly. The ball tossed up, and lured Livingstone forward but spun sharply to hit the leg stump, leaving the batter stunned.

Varun didn’t stop there. Later in the innings, he trapped Jos Buttler who was the lone spotlight in the English team. He tried to clear the boundary but ended up being caught. The spinner’s figures of 3/23 in his four-over spell were pivotal in restricting England to a modest total.

With Varun Chakravarthy in top form, India’s bowling attack was formidable as they bundled out the English men for 132 runs. Besides Chakravarthy, Hardik Pandya, Arshdeep Singh and Axar Patel also contributed with two wickets each but the star of the night was Varun who gave crucial breakthroughs to wobble England's confidence.

Here's a look at how the netizens reacted to the overwhelming performance of the mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy:








With the bowlers setting the stage, it is now on the batters to wrap up the match with ease as they chase a target of 133. Eyes will be on Sanju Samson and Suryakumar Yadav as they pad up intending to clear the ropes early in the innings.
