Former RCB opener Wasim Jaffer raises concerns over Varun Chakravarthy's poor bowling form ahead of India vs Afghanistan T20 series
As India prepares for a three-match T20I series against Afghanistan starting at Arun Jaitley Stadium, former India opener Wasim Jaffer has expressed worries about Varun Chakravarthy's current bowling effectiveness. Jaffer pointed out that batsmen have deciphered Chakravarthy's bowling style, confidently attacking his deliveries when the ball is in their hitting zone, limiting his usual impact. Despite being the joint-highest wicket-taker in the 2026 T20 World Cup group stages, Chakravarthy struggled in knockout matches and has underperformed in subsequent domestic and international matches. Jaffer also warned that Afghanistan remains a formidable T20 cricket opponent, cautioning India not to underestimate them in this upcoming series.
