1st T20I: Chakaravarthy Picks 3-23 As Bowlers Help India Bowl Out England For Just 132
Nitish Kumar Reddy: Wrist-spinner Varun Chakravarthy shined with figures of 3-23 as the Indian bowlers put in a magnificent performance to bowl out England for just 132 runs in the T20I series opener at the Eden Gardens here on Wednesday. For India, everything went right from the time they elected to bowl first. Arshdeep Singh took out the openers quickly to become India’s leading wicket-taker in men’s T20Is. After that, Chakaravarthy spun a brilliant spin web to leave England dazed in the middle overs.
Axar Patel and Hardik Pandya also picked two wickets in a comprehensive bowling performance for India. For England, captain Jos Buttler waged a lone battle to hit 68 off 44 balls, even as others fell around him.
In the start, Arshdeep struck as Phil Salt was undone by a short ball while trying to work it through the leg side, and the leading edge was caught by Sanju Samson. While Buttler smashed down the ground and edged Pandya for two boundaries, Duckett looked to flick Arshdeep over midwicket, but the leading edge was caught by cover in the pacer’s second over.
