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.
Varun's dream run in his return to the T20I set-up continued as he secured three wickets and the 'Player of the Match' award in India's seven-wicket win over England at Eden Gardens in Kolkata during the first T20I on Wednesday.
In the battle of heavyweights where a high-scoring run-fest looked destined, English batters came under the weather. India's perfectly executed plan quickly overwhelmed England's established stars in the T20I format.
Even after delivering a match-winning performance against England in the 1st T20I, India spinner Varun Chakravarthy's hunger to improve remained intact.
