Varun Chakravarthy, playing for India once after about three times, got three innings in a huge win over Bangladesh
Mayank Yadav attracted the eyelids. Arshdeep Singh took the Player-of-the-Match prize for his 3 for 14. Hardik Pandya was audible with the bat, but he kept the Bangladesh pitchers silent. For Varun Chakravarthy, however, it was a "rebirth" as he played a major part in India's crushing seven-wicket get in the first T20I in Gwalior on Sunday. He was again playing for India after November 2021, after all, and 3 for 31 was n't ugly at all.
" After three long years and … it was definitely emotional for me, and it feels nice to be back in the Blues, it feels like a rebirth," he told Murali Kartik on the official broadcast after the game.
" There have been many [challenges]. People ca n't help but criticize you once you've left the Indian side. You need to be in the highest levels, again and again you need to maintain knocking the entrance. Fortunately, this time it happened and finally I may keep continuing my great work. "
It's been a time of great victory for Varun. His team, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR ), won IPL 2024. He finished as the team's highest wicket-taker, and second-highest nevertheless, with 21 batsmen from 14 pitches. That ended in May. In August, Dindigul Dragons won the Tamil Nadu Premier League ( TNPL). His team, afterwards, though captain R Ashwin is the face of the set-up. Varun got 2 for 26 in the last. And was joint-highest for his team with Sandeep Warrier at 12 innings for the game, fifth-highest nevertheless.
And now this global return.
" I played a few games after the IPL, including the TNPL," I said. It's a very good game, and high standard [of cricket ] also," Varun said. " That's a place where I worked a lot, with Ash bhai [ Ashwin]. We also won the contest, which gave me the confidence I needed for this set because it helped me prepare.
I've been following the approach for the IPL as well, so I just want to stick to it. So I do n't want to go over and beyond what's there right now. I just want to stay in the current. That's why I do n't want to think too much or express too much. "
On Sunday, Varun was introduced in the second over. Towhid Hridoy swept him in the air at a serious square-leg, heading in the direction of rookie Nitish Kumar Reddy; Reddy attempted to catch the ball but was unable to land it in the lamps, allowing it to come for four. Varun got Hridoy in his next over, and then Jaker Ali and Rishad Hossain, fooling the batters with his bag of tricks, but was n't happy about the drop.
He was n't going to say it, though.
" I thought it could have gone my way, but I ca n't complain," he said. " But, yeah, thankful to god. "
