Bunny Alert! Varun Chakaravarthy Finds Success Against Glenn Maxwell Again

Indian spinner Varun Chakaravarthy once again proved to be a thorn in Glenn Maxwell’s side, dismissing him for the sixth time in T20 cricket. This wicket marked the fifth occasion Maxwell has been bowled by Chakaravarthy — a figure that ties the record for the most bowled dismissals by a single bowler in T20s.

Maxwell’s Records Against Top Indian Bowlers

5 dismissals by Varun Chakaravarthy (11 matches)
5 dismissals by Jasprit Bumrah (28 matches)
5 dismissals by Ravindra Jadeja (27 matches)

Overall, only Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja — both with seven dismissals each — have gotten the better of Maxwell more often than Chakaravarthy’s six.

Match Summary

Returning to the XI after recovering from injury, Maxwell came in with 70 runs required from 41 deliveries. Faced with disciplined spells from Chakaravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, and Washington Sundar, the Australian all-rounder attempted a risky slog. He missed completely, and the ball grazed the stumps to dismiss him.

India had earlier set Australia a target of 168. Despite a promising start, the visitors lost momentum as wickets tumbled rapidly. The collapse ended with a 48-run defeat, giving India a 2–1 lead in the five-match series.

“The two teams will clash again at the Gabba on November 8 (Saturday).”
