Varun Chakravarthy in India’s ODI Squad: Recently, the five-match T20 series between India and England (IND vs ENG) has ended. Now very soon the three-match ODI series is going to start between the two teams. The first match of the ODI series will be played in Nagpur on 6 February.
Varun Chakravarthy Added to India’s ODI Squad
On the other hand, now before the start of the ODI series, big news has come out for the Indian cricket team. Team India’s mystery spinner Varun Chakraborty has joined the team for the ODI series. Recently he was seen practising with Team India at the VCA Stadium in Nagpur, after which the discussion about this thing became more intense.
Earlier, ever since the 33-year-old experienced bowler returned to the Indian team, he has been seen bowling brilliantly. Chakraborty played a wonderful role in India’s 4-1 T20 series win against England. He took a total of 14 wickets in five T20 matches at an average of 9.86.

Also, due to this amazing performance, he was awarded the Player of the Series award. During the entire T20 series, the batsmen of the England cricket team were not able to face Chakraborty’s bowling easily and kept losing their wickets one after the other. Perhaps this was the reason that the Indian management has once again included him in the team in the ODI series after the T20 series.
