Varun Chakravarthy: Before the first T20 match against England, Indian mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy has returned to Team India.

Varun Chakraborty: After the two-match T20 series against Ireland, now Team India has to play a 5-match T20 series against England. The first T20 match between the two teams will be played on 1 July. Before this match, mystery spinner Varun Chakraborty has returned to the Indian team. The Indian squad has been strengthened by the return of Varun.

Actually, Indian spin bowler Varun Chakraborty was not a part of the 2-match T20 series played against Ireland. He got injured even before the start of this series, due to which he had to be out of the team. But now Varun has become completely fit and he is sweating profusely in the nets. In such a situation, his return can strengthen Team India.

Will you get a chance in the playing 11?

Varun Chakraborty has returned to the Indian team, but at the same time questions are being raised whether he will get a chance in the playing 11? If head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Shreyas Iyer give a chance to Varun in the playing 11 of the first T20 match against England, then they will have to leave out one of the bowlers Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana and Prince Yadav. If the team management goes with a spin-friendly combination, then Varun Chakraborty may get a chance and either Harshit Rana or Prince Yadav may be kept on the bench.
