Since his comeback in the shortest format, Varun Chakravarthy has been outstanding. He got better against South Africa and took five wickets in the three-match series against Bangladesh. However, India was unable to score a victory despite the mystery spinner taking three wickets in the first Twenty20 International and shocking the Proteas with a five-wicket haul in the second game at Gqeberha.
In the first Twenty20 international, South Africa held the visitors to 124 runs. The Suryakumar Yadav-led team needed to do something special in the second Twenty20 International, and Varun delivered. By taking out Reeza Hendricks, Aiden Markram, Marco Jansen, Heinrich Klaasen, and David Miller, he reorganized the batting order and left South Africa in a vulnerable position. Tristan Stubbs, however, came to the rescue, tying the series with an undefeated 47 runs.
Aakash Chopra, a former cricketer for India, was particularly impressed by Varun Chakravarthy performance and examined his bowling variation.
According to him, the Chennai native can bowl slowly in the air like Yuzvendra Chahal, which the batters frequently miss, and he has good googlies in his toolbox.
He took five wickets, which was simply amazing. In the last two games, he has twice dismissed Heinrich Klaasen. In the past two games, he has twice removed David Miller. He struck Markram’s stumps with (Aiden). He bowls both at the stumps and googlies. He’s simply amazing. He’s bowling slowly in midair. In international cricket, particularly in the T20 format, it is the opposite of what spinners typically do. Both Varun Chakaravarthy and Yuzi (Yuzvendra Chahal) bowl slowly. Additionally, Chopra uses slight variations to finish the ball among the three stumps, according to his YouTube account.
He bowls both a googly and a kind of leg cutter. Despite just bowling two types of balls, he does so accurately. He avoids bowling too full or too short, followed by a shift in pace.

Although he is incredibly quick in the air, Ravi Bishnoi also maintains the ball inside the three stumps. Nowadays, people can play fast bowlers because they are accustomed to it,” he continued.
