The new year has started. This year, the biggest tournament in front of Team India is the Champions Trophy which is going to start from 19th February. Before this tournament, Team India will face England in T20I and ODI series at home. In such a situation, there is competition among all the players to get a place in Team India. Meanwhile, in domestic cricket, the strong player of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) has staked his claim for the England Series and Champions Trophy by wreaking havoc with the ball. This player is Varun Chakraborty who plays for Kolkata in IPL but has achieved great feat in Vijay Hazare Trophy while playing for Tamil Nadu in Indian domestic cricket.
Half of Rajasthan team was dismissed
The knockout round of Vijay Hazare Trophy has started from today. The second preliminary quarter-final match of the tournament is being played between Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu. Batting first, Rajasthan team got off to a great start but then Varun Chakraborty restricted the runs with brilliant bowling. Due to the excellent bowling of Chakraborty, Rajasthan team got bundled out for just 267 runs.
Varun Chakraborty, famous as the mystery spinner, single-handedly showed half the Rajasthan team the way to the pavilion. Chakraborty took 5 wickets for 52 runs in 10 overs. In this way the spin bowler staked his strong claim for the Champions Trophy. His performance has come at a time when apart from the series against England, the selectors will also choose the team for the Champions Trophy.
Debut may happen soon in ODI
Let us tell you, a meeting of selectors and coach-Rohit is expected on January 11, after which the team can be announced. Varun Chakraborty’s name can also be discussed in this meeting because there is doubt over the fitness of Kuldeep Yadav. If we look at Varun’s form in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, he has taken the maximum of 18 wickets in this tournament so far. In such a situation, the selectors would not want to ignore this performance of Chakraborty at all. Varun, who has played 13 T20I matches for Team India, is waiting for his debut in ODI.
