Indian national cricket team player Varun Chakravarthy put his team on top during the ongoing first T20I against England national cricket team. The first game of the five-match series between the teams takes place at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
Varun Chakravarthy was quick to make an impact with the ball in the ongoing game. The mystery spinner in the second over did most of the damage as he took two big wickets in Harry Brook and Liam Livingstone to put the Indian national cricket team on top.
Varun Chakravarthy got Harry Brook out with the peach first. He bowled a boogly which the batter looked to push down the ground but ended up getting an inside edge. The ball shed its pads and rolled back onto the stumps to leave the batter stunned.
If that wasn't enough, Varun Chakravarthy then came up with another magical ball to remove Liam Livingstone. The batter made way and exposed his stumps as he was beaten by the googly. The batsman looked to drive this through the off-side. He was beaten and the leg-post was pulled out.

Varun Chakravarthy looked unplayable in the ongoing game. England's national cricket team batsmen can't read their googlies. With his twin knocks in the innings, he left the opposition reeling at 65/4.
