Varun Chakaravarthy's Brilliant Spell Shakes Australia in 4th T20I

In a thrilling encounter at Carrara Oval, Varun Chakaravarthy showcased his bowling mastery by removing Glenn Maxwell for just two runs, turning the game sharply in India's favor during the fourth T20I against Australia on November 6, 2025. The moment underlined both Chakaravarthy's precision and India's determination to take a 2–1 series lead.

Chakaravarthy’s Magic: The Wicket of Maxwell

At a crucial phase with Australia reeling at 103/6 while chasing, Chakaravarthy bowled the 15th over and produced a deceptive googly. Maxwell, attempting a shot to the offside, misread the delivery entirely.

Chakaravarthy’s effort was complemented by a disciplined display from the rest of India’s bowlers. By the 17th over, Australia had slipped to 116/8, unable to counter the consistent pressure.

Axar Patel picked up two wickets.
Shivam Dube claimed two wickets.
Washington Sundar also took two wickets, completing a clinical team display.

India’s cohesive bowling strategy strangled Australia’s momentum and set the stage for a commanding victory.
