Chakravarthy Continues to Haunt Hendricks: Dismisses Opener for Third Straight T20I

Mullanpur, New Chandigarh – Team India spinner Varun Chakravarthy once again proved to be the bane of Reeza Hendricks’ existence, dismissing the South African opener with his very first ball in the 2nd T20I of the 5-match series at Mullanpur on Sunday.

Chakravarthy, introduced in the 5th over, bamboozled Hendricks with a carrom ball that skidded low and rattled the stumps. Hendricks, who had hit Jasprit Bumrah for a six in the previous over, was out for 8 off 10 balls.

This dismissal marks a remarkable trend: Varun Chakravarthy has now dismissed Reeza Hendricks in all three of their T20I encounters. According to ESPNcricinfo, Hendricks averages a paltry 1.66 against the Indian spinner, having scored just 5 runs off 7 balls in their duels.

The early wicket set South Africa back, leaving them at 38/1. With Chakravarthy’s continued dominance over Hendricks, the South African camp will surely be looking for ways to counter the Indian spinner in the remaining matches of the series.
