NEW DELHI: Varun Chakravarthy delivered an outstanding performance, claiming 3/23 as India's bowling unit dismantled England for 132 in the first T20I at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Wednesday.
The decision to exclude Mohammed Shami raised eyebrows at the toss, but the management's choice of a spin-heavy attack proved effective, with the spinners collectively taking 5 wickets for 67 runs in their 12 overs.
