T20 WC: Chakravarthy Will Be The Most Dangerous Bowler Against Brook, Says Pujara
T20 World Cup: Wrist spinner Varun Chakravarthy's repertoire of variations, especially the googly, makes him the most potent threat to counter in-form England skipper Harry Brook in the 2026 Men's T20 World Cup semi-final, to be played at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday evening, said former India batter Cheteshwar Pujara.
Brook has amassed 228 runs in seven innings at an average of 32.6 and strike-rate of 162. But it's his match-up against Chakaravarthy which will be keenly seen, especially with a spot in the final on the line. Chakaravarthy, who has taken 12 scalps in the tournament so far, has dismissed Brook three times while conceding 28 runs off 18 balls in their head-to-head T20I meetings.
"If you see, the majority of his runs are on the leg side. However, someone like Harry Brook is also strong on the off side. So, it is not just about the data, you also need to consider the batter’s strengths. Brook predominantly scores on the leg side, but at the same time, he can score on the off side as well.
