In a thrilling display of bowling acumen, Varun Chakravarthy clinched a decisive five-wicket haul, steering India to limit England to 171/9 in the third T20 encounter. Chakravarthy's efforts overshadowed Mohammed Shami's return to the international scene after a long hiatus.
England's innings saw a promising start with Ben Duckett firing a swift 51 off 28 balls. However, the momentum shifted drastically as Chakravarthy dismantled the opposition on a pitch that favored spinners.
Despite a valiant late effort by Liam Livingstone, England's batting line crumbled under pressure. Shami, showing no signs of fitness issues, played a supporting role to India's spin attack, making significant strides in his comeback.
