Wankhede Stadium gears up for the T20 World Cup’s second semi-final: India vs England, starting 7 PM Thursday. Varun Chakravarthy, India’s leg-spin wizard, has a golden opportunity to dominate the bowling stats.
Boasting 12 wickets over 7 games, two more against England seals the deal at 14. His Super 8 stuttered with 3 wickets, yet his England stats dazzle—14 in 5, with a fifer in the bag. Coaches urge him to unleash that prowess.
Rival Adil Rashid mirrors the chase with 11 wickets, holding 14 scalps in 18 against India. Top spots are frozen: USA’s van Schalkwyk (13/4), Zimbabwe’s Muzarabani (13/6), South Africa’s Ngidi (12/7). Fifth place ties Ravindra and Rashid at 11.
Victory here could hand Chakravarthy not just wickets, but legendary status in T20 World Cup history.
