Varun Chakaravarthy's 5/17 In Vain As India Lose To South Africa By Three Wickets In 2nd T20I

Spinner Varun Chakravarthy's magical craftiness en route a maiden fifer remained a mere footnote as South Africa rode on the stubbornness of Tristan Stubbs to eke out a three-wicket win over India in a low-scoring second T20I in Gqeberha on Sunday. The four-match series is now level at 1-1. But SA's victory, which also halted India's 11-match winning streak, did not come without its share of drama. The first hint of a topsy-turvy night came when India limped to 124 for six on a quick, bouncy pitch after getting the invitation to bat first.

Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra has criticised the team management for under utilising star batter Rinku Singh during the 1st T20I against South Africa on Friday.

BCCI, India Think Tank Told To Give This Star 'Virender Sehwag Like' Freedom. Not Sanju Samson

Amid an inconsistent start to Abhishek Sharma's T20I career, former India wicketkeeper-batter Robin Uthappa has urged the team management to give a free role to the young opener. Despite scoring a century in just his second T20I match, Abhishek has come under the scanner for his recent performances of late. In nine T20I innings, he has scored just 166 runs at an underwhelming average of 20.75. Amid concerns over his consistency, Uthappa has requested the team management to give Abhishek a Virender Sehwag-like license from early 2000s where he was told to express himself.
