Bunny Alert! Varun Chakaravarthy Finds Success Against Glenn Maxwell Again
Varun Chakaravarthy dismissed Glenn Maxwell for the sixth time in T20 cricket, marking a notable pattern in their encounters. Maxwell has been bowled five times by Chakaravarthy across 11 matches, matching the number of dismissals by Jasprit Bumrah (5 in 28 matches) and Ravindra Jadeja (5 in 27 matches).
Only Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja have dismissed Maxwell more often, with seven dismissals each, while Chakaravarthy stands third with six.
Maxwell returned to the playing XI after recovering from an injury. Coming in at number seven with 70 runs required off 41 deliveries, he faced challenging bowling from Chakaravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, and Washington Sundar. Attempting a slog, Maxwell missed the ball completely, which then grazed the stumps.
India had set Australia a target of 168 runs. Australia started well but lost wickets rapidly and eventually lost the match by 48 runs. This outcome gave India a 2-1 lead in the five-match series.
The next match is scheduled for November 8 at the Gabba.
