Varun Chakravarthy Earns High Praise for Bowling Against Glenn Maxwell
Krishnamachari Srikkanth praised Varun Chakravarthy's control over Glenn Maxwell following India's important T20I win against Australia at Carrara Oval. The former Indian cricketer emphasized Chakravarthy's dominance, especially highlighted in the fourth T20I on Thursday.
Chakravarthy took a vital wicket during India’s 48-run victory, dismissing Maxwell by deceiving him with his bowling. This wicket helped secure India’s 2-1 lead in the series. Despite Maxwell's strength against spin bowling, Chakravarthy's mystery deliveries continue to trouble him.
Fresh from an injury break, Maxwell's dismissal was notably awkward as he created space but failed to connect with the shot. After the dismissal, Srikkanth shared his candid thoughts on Chakravarthy's effectiveness:
“Glenn Maxwell shakes in his boots whenever Varun Chakravarthy comes on to bowl. Varun picks up certain batters like a rabbit. Especially when he sees Maxwell, he gobbles him up like a piece of cake.”
Srikkanth’s humorous remarks are supported by stats; Chakravarthy has bowled 33 balls to Maxwell in T20 internationals, maintaining an upper edge.
