But I'm more of a carrom ball bowler and off spinner as well,\u201d said Chakaravarthy in a pre-game chat with the broadcasters at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In 30 T20Is, Chakaravarthy has picked 47 wickets and established himself as a first-choice spinner in the set-up since October 2024. He spoke about the preparations from his end for the matches.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cDefinitely, there's a lot of planning behind the scenes. I do sit with my video analyst and see what's happening and the latest match, what the opponents have played in the last five to six matches, what new shots they are trying to play, and just try to keep up on updates on all those things.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In 30 T20Is, Chakaravarthy has picked 47 wickets and established himself as a first-choice spinner in the set-up since October 2024. He spoke about the preparations from his end for the matches.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/live-cricket-score\">Live Cricket Score<\/a><\/h5><p>He signed off by saying that playing domestic cricket helps him improve upon any shortcomings in his bowling. \u201cThe best thing where I can work is the domestic where the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy happens, and it's extremely competitive, and I definitely find it very tough to bowl there also. So playing such matches gives me more confidence in how to tackle the international-level players. So that's the thing - play more matches.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/h5>",
