In a post-match conversation on Disney+ Hotstar, Piyush Chawla shared his thoughts on Varun Chakravarthy’s performance in the 3rd Ind vs Eng T20I: “Consistency in T20 cricket is never easy, but Varun has been exceptional. He’s been making batsmen play the wrong shots, which speaks volumes about his control and deception. That googly to dismiss Jofra Archer with his last ball was pure class. At this point, whenever India’s T20 squad is announced, his name is bound to be the first on the list.”
Chawla also weighed in on Jofra Archer dismissing Sanju Samson for the third time in the series: “England have executed their plans to perfection in all three matches. They know Sanju (Samson) thrives on extra room and loves playing the pull shot off the back foot. So, they’ve consistently targeted his body, cutting down his scoring options. It’s a well-thought-out strategy, and they’ve executed it brilliantly.”
Chawla also shared his views on Indian spinners: “We do say that spinners are dominating in the series but if we see, only Varun and Axar are bowling spin like that, the rest aren’t able to leave that impact.”
Ambati Rayudu on Ben Duckett’s half-century: “Ben is at his best when playing square of the wicket, and he stuck to his strengths with sweeps and reverse sweeps, executing them with precision. While his innings wasn’t flashy, it was highly effective, showing his ability to find gaps and keep the scoreboard ticking.”
