Varun Chakravarthy‘s exceptional five-wicket spell in the third T20I against England in Rajkot on Tuesday didn’t come in a winning cause, but the Indian mystery spinner was happy about the way he bowled, hoping to get even better.
“Sad that we didn’t make it in this match but that’s the nature of the game, got to move on. Of course, when you’re playing for the country, got to take up some accountability, able to do it to a certain extent. Hope to do it well,” Chakravarthy said at the presentation ceremony.

Chasing England’s 171 for 9, India could only muster 145/9 and lost by 26 runs. England’s win reduced India’s lead in the five-match series to 2-1.
Following the ‘Player of the Match’ effort for his spell of 5 for 24, Chakravarthy said he has been working on adding a flipper to his arsenal.
“I’ve been working on a flipper, coming out well. Maybe at this stage, the best I’ve bowled, but I can definitely get better.”
Varun thoroughly dominated the English batting lineup during his four-over spell, securing his second five-wicket haul in T20Is.
India had won the first two matches of the series in Kolkata and Chennai. The series will now move to Pune for the fourth T20I on January 31, followed by the concluding game in Mumbai on February 2.
The T2oI series will be followed by three ODIs, after which the teams will depart to participate in the ICC Champions Trophy.
