In a gripping T20I clash in Gqeberha, Varun Chakaravarthy emerged as the shining star for India, despite the team's three-wicket defeat to South Africa. The mystery spinner's remarkable five-wicket haul was a notable highlight, underscoring his evolution after being previously dropped from the national team and revamping his bowling style.

Chakaravarthy revealed his transformative journey, attributing his success to revisiting and reconstructing his technique over two years. His strategy proved effective in local leagues and the IPL before reappearing on the international circuit, where it paid dividends against South Africa as he claimed key wickets, leaving the hosts struggling at 88/7.

Despite Chakaravarthy's masterclass, South African talents Tristan Stubbs and Gerald Coetzee turned the tide, securing a victory and leveling the series by aggressively chasing down India's modest target of 125. India's earlier innings, struggling at 124/6, displayed challenges against Coetzee and Jansen's incisive bowling, setting the stage for a tense showdown. (ANI)
