After struggling against spin at Kolkata, England could be up for a bigger challenge against the spin bowling trio of Varun Chakravarthy, Axar Patel and Ravi Bishnoi at spin-friendly Chepauk Stadium in Chennai during the second T20I against England. Under their new head coach Brendon McCullum, the Three Lions would be desperate to replicate the attacking and positive 'Bazball' approach to cricket which gave team success in Tests under captaincy of Ben Stokes.
India's ace T20I spinner Varun Chakravarthy revealed the key aspect he has been working on to make his deliveries more mysterious after delivering a Player of the Match performance in the first T20I against England at Eden Garden.
Even after delivering a match-winning performance against England in the 1st T20I, India spinner Varun Chakravarthy's hunger to improve remained intact.
The calendar year changed, but India's threatening approach in the T20Is remained the same. After ending 2024 on a high note, India picked up the momentum and kickstarted T20Is in 2025 with a bang.
