SA vs IND: Varun Chakravarthy breaks Ashwin's record to make T20I history for India
Chakravarthy's outstanding performance
In the ongoing T20I series between South Africa and India, spinner Varun Chakravarthy has made history by becoming the first Indian bowler to pick up three or more wickets in his first four T20I matches. He achieved this feat in the second T20I in Cuttack, where he took 3/20 and helped India register a seven-wicket victory.
Chakravarthy's performance has been particularly impressive considering that he was only added to the Indian squad as a replacement for the injured Jasprit Bumrah. He made his T20I debut in the first match of the series and immediately made an impact by taking two wickets. In the second match, he further enhanced his reputation with another three-wicket haul.
Breaking Ashwin's record
By picking up three or more wickets in his first four T20I matches, Chakravarthy has broken the record previously held by Ravichandran Ashwin. Ashwin had achieved this feat in 2016 but Chakravarthy has surpassed him by doing it in fewer matches.
Chakravarthy's performance has been praised by experts and fans alike, and he is expected to play a key role in India's upcoming matches in the series and beyond.
