In contrast to the previous wicket, this one was good. Not much was turning. I had no choice except to drive it into the stump line and bide my time till the hitter committed an error. Because it is more difficult and offers me more chances to take wickets, I like bowling in the death and powerplay. Even Axar (Patel) and Jaddu bhai enjoy conversing with Kuldeep. Since I’m relatively new to this arrangement, I want to form some pleasant relationships. I have some soreness in my right foot. If we bat effectively at first, we can achieve the score,” Varun Chakravarthy stated.
