However, since the Super Eight phase, his returns have been concerning, with just four wickets in as many games, and his economy rate has increased to 11.6. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the Super Eights games, Chakaravarthy has faced a challenging period. Before this, he had maintained consistent performances, regularly securing key breakthroughs. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cYes, it is a bit of a concern for India because he\u2019s been their go-to bowler, he\u2019s been their wicket-taking bowler in the middle overs. Obviously, starts putting extra pressure on Jasprit Bumrah. So, it\u2019s not easy when the opposition sort of now look at India and say, 'okay, it\u2019s only Jasprit Bumrah\u2019s four overs that we need to be worried about, not necessarily Varun'. Not easy from an Indian captain\u2019s perspective,\u201d Kumble said on ESPNcricinfo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the Super Eights games, Chakaravarthy has faced a challenging period.

The Kiwis, meanwhile, are yet to win a T20 World Cup title. The stage is set for a thrilling final, and Ahmedabad braces for a showdown that promises to be one for the ages.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/h5>",
