Cricket News Desk. The magic of Varun Chakraborty's spin was seen in the first T20 between India and England. In his second over, this mysterious spinner clean bowled not one but two English batsmen. Chakraborty first uprooted the stumps of Harry Brook and then clean bowled the new batsman Liam Livingstone for 0 runs. Thus, after eight overs, England's score became 65/4. Varun Chakraborty took three important wickets for 23 runs in four overs.

Today was Varun Chakraborty's day.
Actually, the first match of the five-match T-20 series was played at the historic Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Wednesday night. Indian team captain Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and decided to field. Mohammed Shami had to wait a long time for his comeback as India had fielded only one fast bowler in the form of Arshdeep Singh in the match. The team fielded three spinners in the form of Axar Patel, Varun Chakraborty and Washington Sundar.

Harry Brook was out on the third ball.
When Varun Chakraborty came into attack in the eighth over, he fell on the first ball but Harry Brook hit a strong four on the second ball. Chakravarthy bowled the third ball googly which turned inwards. The batsman tried to push the ball on the off side towards short cover but the ball rolled inwards and ultimately landed between the leg and middle stump. He was out after scoring 17 runs.

Livingstone was clean bowled on the fifth ball.
New batsman Liam Livingstone played a dot on the fourth ball and was clean bowled on the fifth ball. Varun Chakraborty took his second wicket. Liam Livingstone returned to the pavilion without scoring any runs. This time the batsman created space and tried to hit a shot towards cover. In such a situation, Chakraborty bowled a slow googly, on which the batsman could not take a decision. The ball hit the bat and went straight to the leg stump. Thus England had to face defeat by four wickets for just 65 runs.
