Indian national cricket team spinner Varun Chakravarthy put his team on top in the first T20I against the England national cricket team. The first match of the five-match series between the two teams will be played at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

It didn’t take long for Varun Chakravarthy to make an impact in the ongoing match. The enigmatic spinner did most of the damage in the second over as he removed two big wickets of Harry Brooke and Liam Livingstone to give the Indian national cricket team the lead .

Varun Chakravarthy first got rid of Harry Brooke with a peach. He bowled a nice ball and the batsman tried to run it down but ended up getting the inside edge. The ball bounced off his pads and rolled back onto the stumps, surprising the batsman.

If that wasn’t enough, Varun Chakravarthy came up with another magic ball to remove Liam Livingstone. The batsman made room and exposed his stump as he was beaten by Google. The batsman hopes to hit the ball offside. He was beaten and his leg pole was uprooted.

Varun Chakravarthy seems to be unable to make an impact in the ongoing matches. The England national cricket team batsman cannot read his Google messages. With his two knocks in the innings, he had his opponents reeling at 65/4.
