India surprisingly won the toss and elected to bowl first in the match. Arshdeep Singh and Jasprit Bumrah shared the new ball, but they could not get any breakthrough and reached the score of 38 in 4 overs.
Your daily dose of cricket!
Then, Suryakumar Yadav introduced Varun Chakravarthy with the hope of an opening breakthrough, and the mystery spinner rewarded his skipper’s faith.
From the very first ball of the over, Varun Chakravarthy managed to shake the stumps of Reeza Hendricks for 8 runs off 10 balls.
Chakravarthy started with a googly length, and Reeza Hendricks stayed back at the crease to pull it back. However, he was beaten when the ball skidded and rattled the stumps.
