What we strive for is excellence and victory for the country that we play for. So, that's what we are looking for, and things have been set in the right place, and we are all ready for what's happening,\u201d said Chakaravarthy in a pre-game chat with the broadcasters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chakaravarthy, the current top-ranked men\u2019s T20I bowler, had a horrid time in the 2021 T20 World Cup. But after 2024, his resurgence has made him an established figure in the set-up.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cI would say I had to change my routine and change my skill in certain ways. As I already mentioned, I was more of a side-spin bowler before. But right now, I'm bowling more of over-spin, and including that, I have to spend more time in the gym, training, and all those things. So I changed my routines a bit, and that has worked for me,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chakaravarthy, the current top-ranked men\u2019s T20I bowler, had a horrid time in the 2021 T20 World Cup.

If I bowl a no-ball in practice, my next ball will be a free hit. So, I just don't go and bowl - I try to make it as close to the match as possible. So, that's my only goal.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/h5>",
