Varun Chakravarthy Injury: The second T20I match between India and Afghanistan will be played on 15 September. Both the teams will face each other at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, but before this match, Team India has suffered a big setback. India's star spinner Varun Chakraborty is out of this series due to injury. He was injured during the first T20 match. Due to Varun being out, now Team India will have to make changes in the playing eleven of the second T20 match. Now it remains to be seen who will be included in his place in the team in the second T20.

Who will get a chance in Team India's playing 11 in place of Varun Chakraborty?

The Indian team has two spinners in the form of Ravi Bishnoi and Washington Sundar as alternatives to Varun Chakraborty. However, the team management may consider including Ravi Bishnoi in the playing 11. The main reason for this is that Bishnoi is an excellent leg-spinner and has also been the number-1 bowler in T20 International, which makes him the perfect replacement for Varun.

Varun Chakraborty bowled very economically in the first match of the series. He took 1 wicket after spending only 16 runs in his quota of 4 overs. None of the Afghan batsmen were able to hit shots freely in front of him. In such a situation, due to Varun's sudden injury, now Team India will have to make a big change in its strategy for the second match.

How is Ravi Bishnoi's T20I record?

Leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi's T20 International career has been quite brilliant so far. Bishnoi, who started his international journey against West Indies in the year 2022, has so far taken a total of 67 wickets in 48 innings of 49 T20 matches at an effective average of 20.55 and economy of 7.46. Bishnoi, who has been the ICC number-1 bowler in T20, has also played an ODI match for India, in which he got one wicket. He was last seen playing for Team India on the Zimbabwe tour in July this year. Now it will be very interesting to see whether the team management includes Varun Chakraborty in the playing 11 of the second T20 or not.

Varun Chakraborty got injured again

Varun Chakraborty has been ruled out of the ongoing T20 series against Afghanistan due to side strain problem. This strain has been confirmed in his medical MRI scan. According to information received from BCCI sources, this is a completely new injury for Varun, due to which a lot of suspense has been created regarding his playing in the upcoming Asian Games. Varun Chakraborty will now go directly to the Center of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru for his recovery. There the team of doctors will thoroughly examine his medical reports, only after which the final decision on his playing in the Asian Games will be taken.
