<p><strong>WTC Final: How can team India Qualify for World Test Championship Final?: </strong>The World Test Championship has taken another turn as the host India appears too good for visitors Australia on a turning surface. Australia suffered a significant innings defeat in the first Test at the VCA Stadium in Nagpur, further solidifying Team India's position in the <a href="https://www.icc-cricket.com/news/2987322" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ICC</a> World Test Championship Points Table (WTC final). The Rohit Sharma-led team hammered Australia by an inning and 132 runs to seize the 1-0 lead in the four-match series.</p>



<p>Australia won the coin toss at the beginning, and that was all they won. India was completely in control of the Test and did not really meet any resistance from the foreign team as they easily won the match in three days. Australia's second innings was bundled up in just a post-lunch session.</p>

<p>India has progressed towards a second straight World Tennis Championship final owing to their victory over Australia in the first Test. The runners-up from the first edition need two more victories from the remaining three Test matches against Australia in order to secure themselves minimum total points of 62.50%, which would eliminate Sri Lanka, who are currently in third position, from the championship.</p>



<p>India's victory also eliminated England and the West Indies from the race for the final, leaving just Sri Lanka and South Africa, who are ranked third and fourth in the points table, to remain in the hunt. If India lose each of the next three Tests or loss any other possible combination of results, they will be redirected to rely on the outcomes of New Zealand vs. Sri Lanka series.</p>



<p>On the other side, Australia is still the favorite to be the first team to secure a spot in the WTC final, despite their loss to India in the first Test. Even if they lost all four Test matches, they would still wrap up the cycle with a percentage of 59.64%, assuming no points were lost due to the over-rate penalty. At that point, they would be relying on the outcome of the two-match series between third-placed Sri Lanka and New Zealand, which begins the following week.</p>

<p><strong>ICC WTC Points Table (Updated) and India's Qualification Scenario for WTC final 2021-23:</strong> Two matches of the Border Gavaskar trophy have been played till now, and the hosts won both with commanding positions all over. Visitors Australia were already lacking in the batting sector and now with their skipper ruled out of the third test, the bowling too looks fragile. In this article, we will glance at the WTC points table and India's qualification scenario for the WTC final.</p>



<p>India closing in on the number-one position yet another time and this demonstrates the dominance of India in the world of Red ball cricket. India are one win away from cementing their place in the WTC final. India will be qualifying for the consecutive second time.</p>



<p>India won the first test within 3 days by an inning and 132 runs in Nagpur and won the second test under 3 days by 6 wickets. Ravindra Jadeja blew the Australian side in his wind in both matches when he took two 5-wicket hauls in two test matches.</p>

<h2><strong>India's WTC final qualification scenario</strong></h2>



<p>The Indians will feel a small sense of comfort as they seek just one more win to secure a spot in the ICC WTC 2021?23 Final, which will take place from June 7?11 at The Oval in London. India will top the WTC points table with 147 points total and a 67.43 win% if it sweeps Australia in the current four-match test series between India and Australia.</p>



<p>On the other hand, Australia is in dire need of a win or a tie in one of the final two matches in the Border Gavaskar trophy to eliminate Sri Lanka from the competition. Sri Lanka will have a chance to squeak in and win a spot in the ICC WTC 2021?23 Final if Australia fails to secure a draw or victory in the next two tests.</p>



<p>India, in the best-case scenario, could reach 67.43 win% if they unilaterally win the series and could end up at 60.6 win% if lose both next tests.</p>

ICC WTC Points Table (Updated) and India's Qualification Scenario for WTC final 2021-23

<p>The bad news is coming out for the Mumbai Indians team and their fans. Jasprit Bumrah will not play in the IPL in 2023. Yes, you read it right. Team India's star bowler has been out of international cricket for the last few months due to injury. All Mumbai Indians and Bumrah fans were hoping to see him play in the IPL, but sources have confirmed that he is also out of the tournament. Let's know the full news</p>



<p>As per the Cricbuzz report, Jasprit Bumrah's return to the field after being totally fit could take longer. Bumrah is still dealing with the stress fracture in his back, and according to sources within the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), he is having trouble playing in the IPL 2023 season.</p>

<h2>Jasprit Bumrah is out of cricket for the last 7 months</h2>



<p>Bumrah suffered this back issue during the July 2016 tour of England, which prevented him from competing in the Asia Cup as well. He returned in the T20 series against Australia, but again he got injured after just two games and was unable to participate in the T20 World Cup in 2022. Bumrah was also selected to face Sri Lanka in 2023, but his back injury prevented him from playing even one match. After this, it was expected that he would return for the Test series against Australia, but this did not happen, and after being ruled out of the entire Border-Gavaskar Trophy, he was not even selected for the ODI series against Australia.</p>

<h2>Bumrah will be seen playing in ODI World Cup</h2>



<p>Over the past few weeks, Bumrah has been receiving treatment for his injuries at the National Cricket Academy (NCA), but so far, things have not gone as planned. Bumrah has already been observed bowling during NCA practise games. The article states that BCCI, Team India Management, and NCA are working to get Bumrah ready for the ODI World Cup, which will take place in October-November. Even though he will miss the IPL, WTC final, and Asia Cup.</p>

<p><strong>ICC WTC Points Table (Updated) after England VS New Zealand 2nd test: </strong>England failed to win over New Zealand by a narrow margin of just 1 run in the second test between England and New Zealand. Who would have said New Zealand would win the match after they were handed a follow-on? It has to be one of the finest Tests ever. NZ have eked out a famous win by 1 run at Wellington.</p>



<p>Although this series was not a part of the ICC World Test Championship 2021-23 cycle and the win of New Zealand won't make any change on the ICC WTC Points table, this will definitely boost their confidence going forward. </p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#strong-why-england-vs-new-zealand-test-series-wasnt-a-part-of-the-icc-wtc-2021-23-cycle-strong">Why England vs New Zealand test series wasn't a part of the ICC WTC 2021-23 cycle?</a></li><li class=""><a href="#strong-icc-wtc-points-table-strong">ICC WTC Points Table</a></li></ul></nav></div>



<h3 id="strong-why-england-vs-new-zealand-test-series-wasnt-a-part-of-the-icc-wtc-2021-23-cycle-strong"><strong>Why England vs New Zealand test series wasn't a part of the ICC WTC 2021-23 cycle?</strong></h3>



<p>The World Test Championship's inception has resulted in a particular format for arranging matches. Under the championship, each team is required to play six series?three at home and three away. Because it would have forced England to play an extra away series and New Zealand to play an extra home series, which would have interfered with the scheduling of other games, the England-New Zealand series does not count towards the championship.</p>



<p>Only India, Australia, and Sri Lanka, however, have a chance of reaching the World Test Championship final in the 2021?2023 cycle. India and Australia are the front-runners to advance to the final since Sri Lanka will need to sweep their two-match away Test series against New Zealand by a score of 2-0 in order to stay in the race. This seems difficult given the type of team Sri Lanka currently has. When it is about competing under swing or overcast conditions, New Zealand is significantly superior to Sri Lanka.</p>

<p><strong>ICC WTC Points Table (Updated) after Ind vs Aus 3rd test: </strong>A famous saying, "He who digs a pit for others may fall in himself" fits in the situation after the 3rd test between India and Australia. India laid a spinning surface in Indore like the first two tests to trap the Aussies similarly, but the plan backfired and the hard work by the visitors finally paid back. With this 9-wicket win, Australia are through to the finals of ICC WTC 2021-23 cycle. </p>

<p>Australia won a historic match in Indore to open their scorecard in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023. After its 11th victory in 18 games during the 2021?23 cycle of the Championship, Australia, led by Steve Smith in place of regular captain Pat Cummins, they were advanced to the WTC final. India's points percentage (PCT), which was affected by its fifth loss in 17 games during the 2021?23 WTC cycle, dropped from 64.06 to 60.29.</p>

<p>Since Sri Lanka is the only other side still in the running for the final match in June at the Oval in England, India must win its final game in the series to advance without relying on Sri Lanka's performance.</p>



<p>Rohit Sharma's team will be able to end with a PCT of 62.5 if they win in Ahmedabad. That will be enough to prevent Sri Lanka from posing any sort of danger. On its upcoming March 9 trip to New Zealand, Sri Lanka can push itself to the best-possible PCT of 61.11.</p>



<p>The best possible finish for India is to beat Australia 3-1, finishing with 135 points and a PCT of 62.5. The worst possible finish for India is to draw the series 2-2, finish with 123 points and a PCT of 56.94.</p>

<p><strong>ICC WTC Final Qualification Scenario:</strong> With a convincing 9-wicket victory against India on 3rd March, Australia cut off the fear of losing the WTC final ticket and became the first finalist of the ICC WTC 2021-23 cycle. Whereas India, on the other hand, with the loss handed by Australians, have only one chance left to steel their clash against Australia in the WTC final. Here, we discuss the qualification scenario for India and Sri Lanka for the final of the World Test Championship 2021-23.</p>



<p>Australia won the match in Indore by nine wickets, handing Team India their first defeat in a Test at home since 2021. Australia qualified for the finals, which is set to be held at The Oval in June (7 June to 11 June) 2023, with just their second Test victory in India since 2004. </p>



<p>The No. 1 ranked team has a winning percentage of 68.52 and has only dropped three games over the entire cycle. Their percentage of 65 will be enough for them to be in the top two even if they lose the fourth Test.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Screenshot-232-1024x418.png" alt="ICC WTC final race 2021-23" class="wp-image-103648" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">ICC WTC 2021-23 </figcaption></figure>



<h2><strong>How can India qualify for the 2021-23 WTC final?</strong></h2>



<p>After collecting 123 points in 17 Tests (10 wins and 2 draws), India's Win% is 60.29. India has dropped a few points throughout this cycle as a result of its slow overrate. If India wins the last Test, their PCT (Win %) will increase to 62.5 with 135 points compared to the full 216 that are available (18 Tests). They will then maintain their second place and advance to the final round.</p>



<p>If India lose, their PCT will fall to 56.94, and they will then have to rely on the outcome of Sri Lanka's away series against New Zealand.</p>



<p>India's PCT will fall to 58.79 in the case of a draw, and even then, they will have to patiently await the result of the Sri Lanka-New Zealand series. Similar results will occur in a tie, with India's PCT being 59.72</p>



<h2><strong>How can Sri Lanka qualify for the 2021-23 WTC final?</strong></h2>



<p>The sole chance Sri Lanka has of making it to the last qualifying round depends on a 2-0 victory in New Zealand, one of the most difficult away games for teams from the subcontinent. The current PCT for Sri Lanka is 53.33, with 64 points out of a possible 120. (10 Tests).</p>



<p>If Sri Lanka wins the series 2-0 and India loses, ties, or draws the fourth Test against Australia, their PCT will be 61.11 with 88 points out of a possible 144 points on the line, and they can then qualify for the final of WTC.</p>



<p>So even if Sri Lanka loses the last Test, they will still have a lower maximum PCT (55.55) than India (56.94) if they draw even one game and win by a single goal.</p>

<p><strong>WTC Updated (after NZ vs SL) Points Table: India and Australia into the WTC Final: </strong>Australia defeated India at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore on Friday (March 3), cementing their slot for the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023 title match. India's entry into the WTC final has already been secured after New Zealand's victory against Sri Lanka in the first test.</p>



<p>Sri Lanka's aspirations of reaching the World Test Championship final were dashed after New Zealand defeated them in the first Test. New Zealand vs Sri Lanka's 1st test turned into a real nailbiter when New Zealand needed 20 runs in 18 balls and Sri Lanka needed 5 wickets. Back-to-back falls of wickets and boundaries made things exciting at the end. Skipper Kane Williamson's ton counted on the winning purpose finally and New Zealand upsets Sri Lanka by 2 wickets.</p>

ICC WTC Points Table Updated (after NZ vs SL 1st test): India and Australia into the WTC Final! | ICC WTC 2021-23

icc-wtc-points-table-updated-after-nz-vs-sl-1st-test-india-and-australia-into-the-wtc-final-icc-wtc-2021-23

<p>WTC Final 2023: Indian Cricket Team has finally managed to overcome the threat of New Zealand in the knockouts of ICC tournaments. Over the years, be it in either way, the Black Caps have stood in way of the Rohit Sharma-led side and have denied them an ICC trophy.&nbsp;</p>



<p>But this time around the Kiwis themselves have made the way for Team India and have given them the best shot at the ICC trophy after 9 long years. Indian Cricket Team has officially qualified for the final of the World Test Championship and it?s fair to say that New Zealand deserves a part of the credit in this.&nbsp;</p>



<h2><strong>WTC Final 2023: New Zealand thumps Sri Lanka in the first Test to pave way for India to qualify for the World Test Championship&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/03/IMG_6534.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-104377" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Kane Williamson guides New Zealand to win| Image Credits: Twitter </figcaption></figure>



<p>With the way things have panned out in the ongoing Test series between India and Australia, even a draw at Ahmedabad wasn?t enough for the Rohit Sharma-led side to qualify directly for the WTC final.</p>



<p>Therefore the onus was on New Zealand to make way for India and they did exactly what many Indian fans expected. They pounded Sri Lanka by 2 wickets to eliminate them from the race of the finals and give Australia their opponents for the summit clash, which will take place in Oval, England in June this year.</p>



<p>Things weren?t quite fruitful for Indian fans on the first two days of the Test between New Zealand and Sri Lanka as the visitors stamped their authority and were in charge. They put the hosts under tremendous pressure as after posting 355 runs on the board, they left the Black Caps tottering at 188/6.&nbsp;</p>

</div></figure>



<p>But Daryl Mitchell came to the rescue and smashed a magnificent ton to put his team a tad ahead in the game. The second essay for Sri Lanka was quite similar to the first one as on account of Angelo Mathews? ton, they registered 302 runs on the board, setting the target of 285 runs for the opposition to chase.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It seemed that it?ll be a tough ask for New Zealand as they were crumbling at 90/3. But Kane Williamson held the fort for his side and oozed his class by smashing a century. He along with a vital contribution from Mitchell (81) tilted the game in his side?s favour. The former remained unbeaten on 121 runs and guided his side to a 1-0 lead in the two-match series.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The loss in the first Test against New Zealand has eliminated Sri Lanka from the race of the World Test Championship Final. For them to qualify, they needed to win both games against the Kiwis. But as it turned out, they have been knocked out and even a win in the second game wouldn?t do any good to them.&nbsp;</p>

WTC Final 2023: New Zealand jinx is finally over! The Kiwis help India qualify for the World Test Championship Final

wtc-final-2023-new-zealand-jinx-is-finally-over-the-kiwis-help-india-qualify-for-the-world-test-championship-final

<p>The Indian team has qualified for the World Test Championship 2021-23; yes, you read that right. Now you must be thinking that the Test match is still in progress between Australia and India, but still, how did Team India qualify?</p>



<p>In fact, something happened. India had two conditions to qualify for the World Test Championship (WTC) of 2021?23: either India defeats Australia in the last Test match or New Zealand defeats Sri Lanka. Then something happened. New Zealand defeated Sri Lanka in a nail-biting match by two wickets.</p>



<p>Team Australia had already qualified for the World Test Championship by winning the third Test match against India, and now that New Zealand has defeated Sri Lanka, India has also qualified for the World Test Championship. We will see the final of the WTC between India and Australia in September.</p>

<p><span>Chasing the target of 166 runs, India struggled to have a good start as both the openers, Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma, got out early. Tilak Varma, who walked out to bat at number three played a stellar innings and held the one end despite the wickets falling at the other end.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>The Southpaw hardly got any support till Washington Sundar (26) played a key role down the order before India was left tottering at 126 for seven. But Varma showed great maturity and took the game deep even though England kept ticking with wickets at the other end.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>Tilak Varma slammed a terrific half-century but made sure that he didn't lose his focus. He played the situation pretty well and took the game to the last over.

<p><strong>IND vs ENG 2nd T20I:</strong> What a thriller in Chennai! In a nail-biting finish, India managed to edge past England in a game that swung like a pendulum. India were in big trouble but Tilak and Ravi Bishnoi kept their nerve to guide India to victory in a photo finish. England’s disciplined spells from Brydon Carse and Rashid were undone by Archer’s costly overs, as his 60-run spell proved to be the turning point.</p>
<p>Below are the IND vs ENG 2nd T20I match highlights:</p>
<h2><strong>IND vs ENG 2nd T20I Highlights</strong></h2>
<p>Surya Kumar Yadav, the Indian skipper, made the right call at the toss and won the flip of the coin. He opted to bowl first and England were asked to bat first for the second consecutive time in the series. India had two changes– Washington and Dhruv Jurel IN for Nitish, and Rinku. Meanwhile, James Smith replaced Jacob Bethell and Carse IN for Gus Atkinson. </p>
<p><strong>England's Playing 11:- </strong>Ben Duckett, Philip Salt (wk), Jos Buttler (c), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jamie Smith, Jamie Overton, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood</p>
<p><strong>India Playing 11:- </strong>Sanju Samson (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Dhruv Jurel, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakravarthy</p>
<h3><strong>England's Innings- 165/9 (20 overs)</strong></h3>
<p>Phil Salt and Ben Duckett opened the innings for England, with Arshdeep Singh taking the new ball. Salt, who was beaten on the first delivery of the previous match, started with a confident flick for four off the very first ball this time. However, Arshdeep quickly had his revenge, as Salt mistimed a pull shot off a short ball and was caught in the deep.</p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_67950e34bd1be.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>Jos Buttler came in next and wasted no time launching an assault, taking 16 runs off Arshdeep's second over. At the other end, Washington Sundar struck with his very first delivery in the fourth over, dismissing Duckett cheaply.</p>
<p>Harry Brook walked in and played a brief cameo, scoring 13 off 7 balls, but Varun Chakravarthy sent him back with a peach of a delivery, needing no assistance from the smog this time! Meanwhile, Jos Buttler fought valiantly but fell five runs short of his half-century, caught in the deep off Axar Patel. Axar struck again soon after, removing Liam Livingstone with a similar delivery, leaving England struggling at 90 for 5.</p>
<p>Jamie Smith attempted to counter-attack, smashing 10 runs off the first two balls of Abhishek Sharma's over, but the bowler had the last laugh, dismissing him shortly after. Brydon Carse took charge next, displaying an ultra-aggressive intent. He even hammered Varun Chakravarthy for back-to-back sixes, signaling a late surge for England.</p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_67950e32621fb.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>However, Carse’s innings ended due to a miscommunication in the middle, resulting in a run-out. Despite their struggles, Adil Rashid and Jofra Archer added a few handy runs at the end, helping England post a defendable total of 165.</p>
<p><strong>England's Scorecard: </strong><br>Phil Salt - 4 (3),<br>Ben Duckett - 3 (6),<br>Jos Buttler - 45 (30),<br>Harry Brook - 13 (8),<br>Liam Livingstone - 13 (14),<br>Jamie Smith - 22 (12),<br>Jamie Overton - 5 (7),<br>Brydon Carse - 31 (17),<br>Jofra Archer* - 12 (9),<br>Adil Rashid - 10 (11),<br>Mark Wood* - 5 (3).</p>
<h3><strong>India's Innings- 166/8 (19.2 overs)</strong></h3>
<p>The target was relatively challenging but well within reach by international standards. Abhishek Sharma got the chase off to a flying start, hitting three boundaries in the opening over. However, Mark Wood struck back in the very next over, dismissing Abhishek.  </p>
<p>Just six balls later, Sanju Samson’s first aggressive shot proved costly, as he walked back to the pavilion soon after. Suryakumar Yadav then joined Tilak Varma, and together they built a steady 37-run partnership for the third wicket. </p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_67950e28c593f.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>Varma began to take on the English bowlers with some aggressive strokes, but his efforts were hindered as he kept losing partners at the other end, with both Suryakumar Yadav and Dhruv Jurel departing in quick succession. Hardik Pandya looked in fluent touch but Overton's first ball took the edge off his bat and India was in a big problem altogether. </p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_67950e2ff242f.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>England managed to build momentum, but Washington Sundar and Tilak Varma steadied the Indian innings. The turning point came in the 13th over when Sundar took the attack to Mark Wood, smashing him for six and two fours, shifting the momentum back in India’s favor. However, Brydon Carse struck in the very next over, clean-bowled Sundar, and put England back in control.</p>
<p>Axar Patel fell to Liam Livingstone and then Verma took the responsibility on his shoulders. Arshdeep played an ugly shot and lost his wicket as well. India needed 21 off 20 then and Ravi Bishnoi not only saved his wicket but also picked a valuable four. 13 runs were needed in the last two overs and after a decent four balls, Ravi Bishnoi punched a half-volley over the points for four. India just needed 6 from the last over and Mark Wood had the last over to bowl. </p>
<p>Tilak was in the strike for the last over and he punched the first ball to the extra covers for two runs and the next ball through the covers for a four and <strong>INDIA won the match by 8 wickets.</strong></p>
<p><strong>India's Scorecard:<br></strong>Sanju Samson - 5 (7)<br>Abhishek Sharma - 12 (6)<br>Tilak Varma* - 72 (55)<br>Suryakumar Yadav - 12 (7)<br>Dhruv Jurel- 4 (5)<br>Hardik Pandya- 7 (6)<br>Washington Sundar - 26 (19)<br>Axar Patel - 2 (3)<br>Arshdeep Singh - 6 (4)<br>Ravi Bishnoi* - 9 (5)</p>
<p><strong>*- NOT OUT</strong></p>
<p>This innings from Tilak Verma was his fourth consecutive innings where he has been unbeaten in the T20Is. This makes him the player with the most runs without getting out in T20Is. <strong>(<span>318* Tilak Varma (107*, 120*, 19*, 72*))</span><br></strong></p>

In a thrilling contest, India edged past England in Chennai, with Tilak Varma anchoring the chase and Ravi Bishnoi providing vital support. Despite early setbacks and England's fightback, costly overs from Archer helped India clinch a photo-finish victory.

India triumphed in a tense chase, with Tilak Varma and Bishnoi leading the way after England's bowlers dominated early.

<p><span>India batter Tilak Varma has looked in great touch with the bat in the ongoing second T20I against England. The second match of the five-match series between the teams is taking place at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Tilak Varma, who was promoted up the order, came out all guns blazing with the bat and took attack to the England bowlers. The left-hander, who slammed two back-to-back centuries in South Africa, oozed his class with the bat as he played some sublime strokes.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Tilak Varma, in particular, targeted Jofra Archer as the batter slammed the England fast bowler for 17 runs in an over. The young India batter started the over on high as he hit a magnificent boundary on the first ball. He created, took, and slashed the ball over point.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>On the very next ball, Tilak Varma then slammed an outrageous six. Jofra Archer bowled a 150.3 kph ball to which the batter stayed inside the line of the ball and managed to get it off the meat of the bat as the ball sailed over fine leg to a big maximum.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>After a dot on the third ball, Tilak Varma then managed another six. Jofra Archer bowled a short ball to which the batter looked to pull it and got it very fine. The ball sailed over the head of the keeper and went for a six to put pressure on the premier England pacer.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>The video of the incident can be seen at the end:</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Earlier, India had a great outing with the ball as they put England batters under massive pressure. Bowlers kept chipping in with wickets at regular intervals. Varun Chakravarthy and Axar Patel bagged two wickets whereas others apart from Ravi Bishnoi also picked one wicket.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>For England, skipper Jos Buttler (45) and Brydon Carse (35) were the only batters who got past the 30-run mark, while Jamie Smith managed 22 runs off 12 balls. Their effort saw England posting a total of 165 runs.</span></p>

<p><span>India mystery spinner had another decent outing with the ball for the team, as he has made a vital impact for his side in the ongoing second T20I against England. The match between the teams is taking place at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Varun Chakravarthy was all over the England batters in the first three overs of his spell. But was taken to the cleaners by Brydon Carse in the last over of his spell. The England all-rounder started the over on high as he slammed two back-to-back sixes to put the spinner under immense pressure.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Brydon Carse hit Varun Chakravarthy for a massive six in the long on region on the first ball and then hit another maximum on the next ball to put the spinner under pressure. This didn't go well with the mystery spinner as he made sure that he took his revenge in the same over only.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Although he couldn't take the wicket of Brydon Carse, he made sure he sent Jamie Overton packing. Varun Chakravarthy bowled a googly, which the batter failed to pick as he looked to work it into the leg side. He got beaten on the inside edge as the ball crashed onto the stump</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>You can see the video at the end of the article:</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
