It is every bowler's dream to achieve a 5-wicket haul in T20 cricket. Whenever a bowler does this in the T20 format, he also becomes the hero of his team's victory. But something opposite is seen with Team India's mystery spinner Varun Chakraborty. Varun Chakraborty has taken 5-wicket hauls twice in his T20I career so far. He is also the bowler who has taken 5-wicket hauls twice in the least number of innings. But whenever he takes a 5-wicket haul, he joins an embarrassing list.

Varun Chakraborty's 5 wicket haul did not work again.

Varun Chakravarthy took a 5-wicket haul in the T20 match played against England in Rajkot. He gave away just 24 runs in 4 overs at an economy of 6.00 and took 5 wickets. But in this match, he did not get support from the other players and in the end Team India had to face defeat. There is no doubt that Varun's bowling was amazing, but despite this the Indian team had to lose the match.

Earlier, Varun Chakraborty had taken a 5-wicket haul against South Africa in November 2024. Then he took 5 wickets for 17 runs in 4 overs and this was also the best performance of his T20 International cricket career. But on both these occasions, Team India had to face defeat. Let us tell you, Varun Chakraborty is the only bowler in the world who has achieved a 5-wicket haul in a losing match twice in T20 International.

Only Chakraborty's name is in this unwanted record.

Apart from Varun Chakraborty, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Deepak Chahar have also achieved the feat of taking a 5-wicket haul in T20 for Team India. Like Varun Chakraborty, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Kuldeep Yadav have also taken 5-wicket hauls 2 times each. But Varun Chakraborty is the only bowler from India who has faced defeat even after taking a 5-wicket haul. Apart from Varun, whenever all other bowlers have achieved a 5-wicket haul in T20I, the team has won.

This incident has happened with these bowlers as well.

Varun Chakravarthy may be the only Indian bowler to have taken a 5-wicket haul in a losing match. But there are other bowlers who have been victims of such an incident in T20I International cricket. Before this, Mustafizur Rahman of Bangladesh, Matt Short of Australia, Sandeep Lamichhane of Nepal, Ehsan Malik of Netherlands and Alasdair Evans of Scotland have also taken a 5-wicket haul in a losing match. But no bowler has faced such an incident twice in his career.
