Varun Chakravarthy created history in India’s 30-run T20I victory over South Africa at Ahmedabad, taking a four-wicket haul and finishing the series with 10 wickets in four matches. This marked the third time in his career he has taken double-digit wickets in a bilateral T20I series, previously 12 against South Africa (2024) and 14 against England (2025). No other Indian has achieved this even once. Globally, only New Zealand’s Jacob Duffy has managed the feat twice. Varun also became the first player to take 10 wickets in a T20I series twice against the same team (South Africa). He now holds the world no.1 T20I bowler ranking, surpassing Duffy at no.2.
