Indian bowlers started the 5-match T20 series against England in a very explosive manner. In the first match of the series at Eden Gardens Stadium, Indian bowlers bundled out England's innings for 132 runs in 20 overs. During this time, India's most successful bowler was mystery spinner Varun Chakraborty. Big batsmen flopped in front of Varun Chakraborty's bowling. But the last few years have been very difficult for Varun Chakraborty. He was constantly being ignored in Team India. But due to head coach Gautam Gambhir, he returned to the team and he managed to take advantage of the opportunity.

One decision of Gambhir changed the life of Varun Chakraborty.

Varun Chakraborty made his T20 debut for Team India in July 2021. But he could not do much in his early career. He took only 2 wickets in the first 6 matches of his international career. After this, Varun Chakraborty was removed from the Indian team in 2021 without any reason. He was not in Team India's plans at all. But as soon as Gautam Gambhir became the head coach of Team India, he got Varun Chakraborty back in the T20 team. Varun Chakraborty took full advantage of the opportunity and he is now giving strong performances one after the other.

Varun Chakraborty returned to international cricket in October last year in the T20 series against Bangladesh. Varun Chakraborty also became the second Indian player to play a T20 match after the longest gap. He missed 86 T20 matches during these three years. But his comeback was very strong. He has played 8 matches since his return to international cricket and has taken 20 wickets at an average of 11.70. Let us tell you, Gautam Gambhir was the mentor of the Kolkata Knight Riders team in the last season of IPL. Varun Chakraborty was also a part of this team. He had seen Varun Chakraborty very closely and showed confidence in him. Chakraborty has proved his decision right.

Won Player of the Match award against England

Varun Chakraborty bowled 4 overs in this match against England and conceded only 23 runs at an economy of 5.75 and took 3 wickets. He sent Jos Buttler, Harry Brook and Liam Livingstone to the pavilion. He was also selected as the Player of the Match for this strong performance.
