Which bowler is South Africa afraid of?

Before the match against India in Super-8, South African wicketkeeper batsman Quinton de Kock said that Varun Chakraborty is posing more challenge for South African batsmen than Indian bowler Jasprit Bumrah, and Africa will have to be cautious of him. De Kock clarified that Varun Chakraborty has performed brilliantly against African batsmen in the previous matches and that is why emphasis will be placed on strategy to face them.

Before the important match of the Super Eight stage, Quinton de Kock said, ‘He is a very good bowler and bowled excellently against us in that series. Hopefully our players will have analyzed it and figured out how to face it.

How is Varun’s record against South Africa?

Varun Chakraborty has given many impressive performances in his career against South Africa. Chakraborty has taken 22 wickets in 8 T20 matches against South Africa, which simply means that his bowling has always been a big challenge for the African batsmen.

South Africa’s focus on the spin of Chakraborty instead of a fast bowler like Bumrah indicates that in the current circumstances, the spin department of Team India is proving to be more dangerous for Africa.
