In a thrilling display of cricket, India secured a seven-wicket victory against England in the first T20I at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. The standout performers were undoubtedly seamer Arshdeep Singh and spinner Varun Chakravarthy, who together dismantled the English batting lineup.

Arshdeep remarked, “Varun took 3 wickets – Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jos Buttler, all good batsmen.” Chakravarthy responded by acknowledging Arshdeep’s impact, stating, “He has been in amazing form for the country and has been picking wickets regularly.”
Both players emphasized the importance of taking wickets during the middle overs. Arshdeep noted, “Varun has taken wickets in the middle overs, giving us a good platform to bowl at the death.” Chakravarthy echoed this sentiment, appreciating Arshdeep’s leadership and experience.
Following their stellar performances, Arshdeep expressed his gratitude for achieving the milestone of becoming the highest wicket-taker in T20s for India, while Chakravarthy celebrated earning his first Player of the Match award for the country.
